Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to address both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for those involved with substance abuse, as people who have mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help men and women using a comprehensive rehab plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also dealing with drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and development. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are able to better deal with life situations well if they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
