Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health problems often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to to feel some type of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help people using a comprehensive rehab plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their program and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to handle life circumstances more effectively once they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs as a possible solution.
