Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to handle both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for folks involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health issues often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some type of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help men and women through a thorough rehab plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their program and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are better able to handle life situations better if they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior solution.
