Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide treatment to handle both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for those involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health issues often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help individuals through a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing drug abuse problems. Providing a safe setting is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things which may cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are able to better handle life circumstances more proficiently when they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
