Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver treatment to deal with both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for individuals involved with substance abuse, as people with mental health issues often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help men and women through a detailed rehab plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things which need to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and sober t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life situations more proficiently when they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
