Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for folks involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health issues often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help men and women through a thorough rehab plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with substance abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things which could compromise their treatment plan and development. Rehab counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which need to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and abstinen t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life situations more proficiently after they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as an inferior solution.
