Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to handle both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for people involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help individuals using a detailed rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with drug abuse problems. Offering a safe setting is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life circumstances more effectively after they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior option.
