Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to handle both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for folks involved with substance abuse, as people with mental health disorders often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help people through a thorough rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with substance abuse concerns. Offering a safe setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things that may cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which need to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop far better coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life situations more proficiently when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible option.
