Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to deal with both addiction and mental health concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for individuals involved in drug abuse, as individuals with mental health issues frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help people through a thorough treatment plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing drug abuse issues. Providing a secure environment is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their program and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and abstinen t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop far better coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances better if they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible option.
