Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for those involved in substance abuse, as people who have mental health issues often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help people through a thorough treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while addressing drug abuse concerns. Offering a secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which helps them develop far better coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life situations well once they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior option.
