Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help people using a thorough treatment plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing drug abuse issues. Offering a safe setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and sober t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life circumstances well once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior solution.
