Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to address both addiction and mental health concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help men and women using a thorough rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while addressing substance abuse problems. Providing a safe setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that need to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to handle life situations well if they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs as a possible option.
