Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for individuals involved in drug abuse, as people who have mental health issues often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help people using a detailed rehab plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Providing a safe and secure setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things which could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and sober t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are able to better handle life circumstances well once they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs as an inferior solution.
