Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help men and women using a thorough rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things which could cut across their program and progress. Rehab counselors will work to identify environmental issues 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 healthy and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop far better coping methods so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances more effectively once they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs as a possible option.
