Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver treatment to address both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health problems often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some type of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help individuals through a detailed rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Offering a secure setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that have to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop far better coping methods so they are better able to deal with life situations more effectively when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
