Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver treatment to handle both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for folks involved with drug abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help men and women using a thorough rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while addressing alcohol and drug abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their program and progress. Rehab counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which have to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and abstinen t once 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 if they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as a possible answer.
