Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for folks involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to to feel some form of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help individuals using a thorough treatment plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with drug abuse problems. Offering a secure setting is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that may cut across their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify 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 when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are better able to deal with life situations better after they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible option.
