Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for people involved in drug abuse, as people with mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help people using a detailed rehab plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing drug abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure environment is key so that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life circumstances more proficiently when they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior option.
