Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehabilitation to deal with both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for those involved in drug abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some form of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help individuals using a detailed rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing drug abuse problems. Offering a secure environment is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things which may cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop more effective coping methods so that they are better able to handle life circumstances better once they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior solution.
