Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to handle both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for those involved in drug abuse, as individuals with mental health issues often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to to feel some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help men and women through a detailed rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with substance abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure setting is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that may cut across their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that have to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to handle life circumstances better when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as a possible answer.
