Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide treatment to address both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for people involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help people through a detailed treatment plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing alcohol and drug abuse issues. Providing a safe environment is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things which may compromise their program and progress. Rehab counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and sober t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances better after they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs as an inferior option.
