Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver treatment to handle both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for individuals involved in substance abuse, as those that have mental health issues often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help men and women using a detailed treatment plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with substance abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so they are better able to handle life situations more effectively if they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as a possible answer.
