Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide treatment to handle both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for those involved with substance abuse, as individuals with mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help people using a thorough treatment plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing alcohol and drug abuse problems. Providing a secure setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things which may cut across their program and advancement. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life circumstances more effectively when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior option.
