Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehab to handle both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for individuals involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help individuals through a thorough treatment plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health whilst addressing substance abuse issues. Providing a secure setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that may compromise their program and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which need to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which will help them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life circumstances better when they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior solution.
