Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver treatment to deal with both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for individuals involved with substance abuse, as people with mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help individuals using a detailed rehab plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure setting is key so that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life circumstances more proficiently if they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior solution.
