Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehabilitation to handle both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for those involved with drug abuse, as individuals with mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help men and women using a thorough rehab plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with drug abuse problems. Offering a secure environment is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which may compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that have to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab that helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are able to better deal with life situations more proficiently if they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior option.
