Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help men and women through a detailed treatment plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing drug abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their program and advancement. Treatment counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which must be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and sober t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to deal with life circumstances more effectively once they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs as an inferior solution.
