Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to handle both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for individuals involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health issues frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help people using a comprehensive treatment plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing drug abuse problems. Providing a safe environment is key so that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which may compromise their program and progress. Rehab counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that have to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab that helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to handle life circumstances well if they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
