Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to handle both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for those involved in drug abuse, as individuals with mental health disorders often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help individuals through a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as addressing drug abuse problems. Offering a safe setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things that have to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and sober t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life situations better when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
