Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help men and women using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Offering a secure environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things which may cut across their program and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things that must be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so they are better able to deal with life circumstances more effectively after they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as an inferior solution.
