Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehabilitation to deal with both addiction and mental health concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for those involved with substance abuse, as those that have mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help individuals through a comprehensive treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while also dealing with drug abuse problems. Offering a secure setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which may compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are better able to deal with life situations more effectively when they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior answer.
