Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to handle both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for individuals involved in drug abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help individuals using a thorough treatment plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with substance abuse issues. Providing a safe setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their program and progress. Treatment counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that need to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and sober t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life situations better when they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior answer.
