Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehab to address both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help people using a detailed rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with substance abuse issues. Providing a safe and secure setting is key so that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that may cut across their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which will help them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life situations more effectively if they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior answer.
