Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver treatment to handle both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for folks involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help people through a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing substance abuse issues. Offering a safe setting is key so that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and sober t whenever 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 situations more effectively once they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
