Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide treatment to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help people through a comprehensive rehab plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing drug abuse issues. Offering a secure environment is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their program and advancement. Treatment counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances more effectively once they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible option.
