Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver treatment to handle both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for people involved in drug abuse, as people with mental health issues frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help men and women through a detailed rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing alcohol and drug abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things which could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and sober t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life situations well if they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
