Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to address both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for people involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help people using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also dealing with substance abuse problems. Providing a secure setting is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their program and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances well once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as an inferior option.
