Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for those involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help individuals through a thorough treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing drug abuse issues. Providing a secure environment is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and abstinen t once 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 deal with life situations better if they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as an inferior solution.
