Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to handle both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for individuals involved with substance abuse, as people with mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to to feel some type of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help people through a thorough treatment plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing drug abuse problems. Offering a secure setting is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things which could cut across their program and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab that helps them develop more effective coping methods so that they are able to better handle life circumstances better when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible option.
