Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver treatment to handle both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for those involved in drug abuse, as those that have mental health issues often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help people through a detailed rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as addressing drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and sober t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to handle life situations more proficiently when they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior option.
