Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to address both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for folks involved in drug abuse, as those that have mental health issues frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help individuals using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while addressing drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which may compromise their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and sober t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so they are better able to handle life circumstances more effectively if they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs as a possible option.
