Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to deal with both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health issues frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to to feel some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help men and women using a comprehensive treatment plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe and secure environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and sober t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop far better coping methods so they are able to better deal with life circumstances more proficiently after they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior option.
