Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health issues frequently 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 through a comprehensive rehab plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with drug abuse concerns. Providing a secure setting is key so that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things which could cut across their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and abstinen t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life circumstances more proficiently once they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as a possible option.
