Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for individuals involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health problems frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help individuals using a thorough rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing drug abuse problems. Providing a secure setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their program and development. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things that should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life situations more effectively when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior option.
