Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to deal with both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for people involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health disorders often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help individuals through a comprehensive treatment plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with drug abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things which may cut across their program and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and sober t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are better able to handle life circumstances more effectively after they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as a possible solution.
