Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to handle both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for folks involved with substance abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help men and women through a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while addressing substance abuse issues. Providing a secure setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that may compromise their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and sober t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life circumstances more effectively if they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior answer.
