Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to deal with both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance 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 respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help men and women using a detailed rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with drug abuse issues. Providing a safe environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which may compromise their program and progress. Treatment counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that have to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment that helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life situations more effectively if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs as a possible solution.
