Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide treatment to deal with both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help men and women through a thorough treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing substance abuse concerns. Providing a secure setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things which may cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life circumstances better when they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior solution.
