Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver treatment to handle both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for folks involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health issues frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help people using a detailed treatment plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while addressing drug abuse issues. Providing a safe and secure environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and abstinen t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more effective coping methods so that they are better able to handle life circumstances better after they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as a possible answer.
