Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved in drug abuse, as people who have mental health problems often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to to feel some sort of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help men and women through a thorough rehab plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while addressing alcohol and drug abuse issues. Offering a secure environment is key so that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which may compromise their program and development. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab that helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to handle life situations better once they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior option.
