Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to handle both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for folks involved with substance abuse, as people with mental health problems frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help men and women using a thorough rehab plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe environment is key so that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which must be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are able to better handle life situations more effectively if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
