Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to handle both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for individuals involved with substance abuse, as those that have mental health disorders frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some form of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help people using a detailed rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Offering a secure setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that must be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life situations more proficiently when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
