Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to handle both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for people involved in drug abuse, as people with mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help men and women using a thorough rehab plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing drug abuse problems. Offering a secure setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which may compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are able to better handle life circumstances more proficiently after they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior option.
