Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to deal with both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help people through a detailed treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while addressing alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and advancement. Rehab 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 individual to be mentally stable and sober t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life situations better once they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
