Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for those involved in substance abuse, as individuals with mental health problems often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help men and women using a comprehensive rehab plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with drug abuse issues. Providing a secure setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Treatment counselors will continue to 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 individual to remain mentally healthy and sober 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 able to better handle life circumstances more effectively once they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible option.
