Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to address both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help individuals through a thorough rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with substance abuse problems. Providing a safe setting is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which could cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things that should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and abstinen t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to handle life circumstances more proficiently when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior answer.
