Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver treatment to address both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for those involved in drug abuse, as people with mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help individuals through a thorough rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with drug abuse problems. Offering a secure environment is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that may cut across their program and development. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life situations more effectively after they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as a possible solution.
