Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for people involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help individuals using a thorough treatment plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also dealing with drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure setting is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that must be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life circumstances more proficiently if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior answer.
