Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for people involved in drug abuse, as people who have mental health issues frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some form of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help men and women through a detailed rehab plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with drug abuse problems. Offering a safe environment is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life situations better when they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
