Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for people involved in drug abuse, as people with mental health problems often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some type of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help men and women through a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with substance abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances better if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible option.
