Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver treatment to deal with both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for folks involved with drug abuse, as people who have mental health issues often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help men and women using a thorough treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing substance abuse problems. Offering a safe setting is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their program and advancement. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that have to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment that helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to handle life situations more proficiently if they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior option.
