Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver treatment to deal with both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for folks involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health issues often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help people using a thorough rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing alcohol and drug abuse problems. Providing a secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that may cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are able to better deal with life situations better once they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior solution.
