Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for those involved in drug abuse, as individuals with mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help people through a detailed rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe environment is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which may compromise their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that should be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances more proficiently once they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
