Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide treatment to handle both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for folks involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help men and women using a comprehensive rehab plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Offering a safe environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things which may compromise their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and sober t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more effective coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life situations well if they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
