Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide treatment to address both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for folks involved with drug abuse, as those that have mental health issues frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help men and women through a detailed rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing alcohol and drug abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure environment is key so that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their treatment plan and development. Rehab counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which must be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and sober t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life situations more effectively after they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
