Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehabilitation to handle both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for folks involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health problems often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help people using a thorough rehab plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing substance abuse problems. Offering a safe environment is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life circumstances better after they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior answer.
