Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to handle both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved with substance abuse, as those that have mental health problems often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help men and women through a detailed rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with substance abuse issues. Providing a safe environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and sober t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances more proficiently once they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs as an inferior solution.
