Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved in substance abuse, as people with mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help people through a detailed rehab plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing substance abuse concerns. Offering a secure environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which could compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and sober t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life circumstances more effectively once they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
