Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide treatment to deal with both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for individuals involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health issues often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help people using a comprehensive treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing substance abuse issues. Providing a safe and secure environment is key so that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which may compromise their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which need to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t once 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 able to better deal with life situations well after they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
