Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health issues often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help people using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with substance abuse concerns. Providing a safe setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life situations better if they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as an inferior answer.
