Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide treatment to deal with both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for people involved in substance abuse, as people who have mental health issues often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to to feel some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help men and women through a detailed treatment plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing drug abuse problems. Offering a safe environment is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their program and development. Rehabilitation counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which need to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and sober t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life circumstances more effectively when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
