Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to handle both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for people involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health issues often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help individuals using a comprehensive treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing drug abuse problems. Providing a secure setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their program and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to handle life situations better once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior solution.
