Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to address both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for folks involved in substance abuse, as people who have mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help people using a thorough treatment plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure environment is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things which could cut across their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to identify 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 stable and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life circumstances more effectively when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
