Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to handle both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for individuals involved with substance abuse, as people who have mental health problems often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help individuals through a thorough rehab plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Offering a safe setting is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their treatment plan and advancement. 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 which must be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to handle life circumstances more proficiently once they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs as an inferior solution.
