Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide treatment to address both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for people involved with substance abuse, as people with mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help men and women using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while addressing substance abuse problems. Providing a safe setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab that helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are able to better handle life circumstances well after they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs as a possible solution.
