Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide treatment to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help individuals through a thorough rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which may compromise their program and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things which must be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop more effective coping methods so that they are better able to handle life situations more effectively after they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior solution.
