Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to handle both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for individuals involved in drug abuse, as individuals with mental health problems often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help men and women through a comprehensive rehab plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while addressing alcohol and drug abuse issues. Providing a safe and secure setting is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their program and progress. Treatment counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things that should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and sober t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life circumstances more proficiently once they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible option.
