Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for people involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health issues frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help men and women using a thorough rehab plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Providing a secure environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life circumstances well after they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs as a possible solution.
