Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to handle both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for those involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health problems often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help people through a thorough treatment plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing alcohol and drug abuse issues. Providing a secure setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their program and advancement. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and abstinen t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life circumstances better once they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as a possible answer.
