Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to handle both addiction and mental health concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved in substance abuse, as people who have mental health problems often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help men and women using a thorough rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with drug abuse concerns. Offering a secure environment is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which need to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life situations well when they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs as an inferior solution.
