Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for people involved with substance abuse, as people with mental health problems frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help individuals through a detailed treatment plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Providing a safe and secure setting is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their program and advancement. Rehab counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that must be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and sober t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop far better coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life situations more effectively when they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior option.
