Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to address both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for folks involved in substance abuse, as people with mental health disorders frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help people through a thorough treatment plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing substance abuse concerns. Offering a safe setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and sober t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are able to better handle life circumstances more effectively if they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior option.
