Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for those involved in drug abuse, as those that have mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help men and women through a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while also dealing with substance abuse issues. Providing a safe and secure setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which could cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which will help them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life circumstances more proficiently when they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior answer.
