Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to deal with both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for folks involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health problems often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help people through a comprehensive rehab plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing substance abuse concerns. Offering a secure setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that may cut across their program and development. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are able to better deal with life circumstances more effectively when they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as a possible solution.
