Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver treatment to handle both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for those involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help individuals through a detailed rehab plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with substance abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that 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 which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life situations more effectively after they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as a possible answer.
