Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to address both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for people involved in substance abuse, as people with mental health problems frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help individuals using a detailed rehab plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Offering a secure setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and abstinen t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life situations well once they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
