Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide treatment to address both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for people involved with substance abuse, as those that have mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help people using a detailed rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with substance abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their program and development. Rehab counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which have to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life situations well if they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
