Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to handle both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health issues frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help people through a detailed rehab plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing substance abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure environment is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which may compromise their program and progress. Treatment counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and sober t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life circumstances more proficiently once they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
