Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to handle both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for individuals involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health problems frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help men and women using a detailed rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also dealing with substance abuse issues. Providing a safe and secure environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their treatment plan and development. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that should be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so they are better able to deal with life situations better after they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as an inferior solution.
