Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for folks involved in substance abuse, as people who have mental health issues frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help people through a comprehensive treatment plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things that may compromise their program and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab that helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to handle life situations more effectively once they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs as a possible option.
