Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to handle both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for those involved in substance abuse, as those that have mental health issues often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help individuals through a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while addressing substance abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are able to better handle life circumstances more proficiently if they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
