Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to address both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health issues frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to to feel some form of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help individuals through a detailed rehab plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing substance abuse problems. Offering a secure environment is key so that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things which may cut across their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment that helps them develop more effective coping methods so that they are able to better deal with life situations well if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
