Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to handle both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved with drug abuse, as individuals with mental health problems often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to to feel some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help men and women through a thorough treatment plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with substance abuse issues. Providing a secure environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that have to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to handle life situations better after they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
