Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide treatment to address both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for folks involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help people through a thorough treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Offering a safe setting is key so that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and sober t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life circumstances more effectively when they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as a possible solution.
