Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for people involved with substance abuse, as people who have mental health problems often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help individuals through a comprehensive rehab plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing substance abuse issues. Providing a safe and secure environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment that helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances well after they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
