Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver treatment to address both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for folks involved in drug abuse, as those that have mental health disorders frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help men and women using a comprehensive treatment plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing drug abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure setting is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that may cut across their program and development. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so they are better able to handle life situations more effectively if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
