Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved in drug abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help people through a thorough rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing substance abuse concerns. Offering a secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances better once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
