Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for folks involved with drug abuse, as individuals with mental health issues frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help individuals using a thorough treatment plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing alcohol and drug abuse issues. Offering a safe setting is key so that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life situations well when they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior solution.
