Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver treatment to handle both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for individuals involved with substance abuse, as people with mental health issues often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help men and women using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with drug abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and abstinen t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop far better coping methods so they are better able to handle life circumstances more proficiently if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
