Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for those involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health problems often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to to feel some form of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help men and women using a detailed rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst addressing drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which may compromise their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab that helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to deal with life circumstances better when they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
