Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to handle both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for folks involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health problems frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help individuals using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Offering a secure environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things which may cut across their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that need to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life circumstances well after they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible option.
