Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide treatment to address both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for people involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help men and women using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with drug abuse problems. Offering a secure setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and sober t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are able to better handle life circumstances more effectively when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
