Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehab to handle both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for people involved with substance abuse, as individuals with mental health problems frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help people using a thorough rehab plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things which could cut across their program and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that should be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and abstinen t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop far better coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life circumstances well when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior option.
