Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for individuals involved in drug abuse, as people who have mental health disorders frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help people using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing drug abuse problems. Providing a secure setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things which could compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and sober t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are able to better handle life situations more proficiently when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior solution.
