Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to deal with both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved in substance abuse, as people with mental health disorders frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help men and women through a detailed rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while addressing substance abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure setting is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that may cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which will help them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life circumstances better if they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior answer.
