Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver treatment to handle both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for those involved in drug abuse, as those that have mental health issues often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help individuals through a detailed treatment plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify 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 remain mentally healthy and sober t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are better able to handle life situations well when they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible option.
