Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for people involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help people using a detailed rehab plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with drug abuse concerns. Providing a secure setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their program and advancement. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and sober t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life situations better if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs as a possible option.
