Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to deal with both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for individuals involved in drug abuse, as those that have mental health problems frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help people through a comprehensive rehab plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst addressing alcohol and drug abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their program and progress. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and sober t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life circumstances better once they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
