Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to deal with both addiction and mental health concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health disorders often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help men and women using a thorough rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing drug abuse problems. Providing a safe environment is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things which could compromise their program and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and sober t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are better able to deal with life circumstances better when they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as a possible solution.
