Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for those involved with substance abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help men and women through a thorough treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while addressing drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things which need to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and sober t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances more effectively after they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as a possible solution.
