Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to deal with both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health disorders frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help men and women using a thorough rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while addressing alcohol and drug abuse problems. Offering a secure setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which will help them develop more effective coping methods so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances more effectively if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
