Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to handle both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help individuals using a comprehensive rehab plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while also dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that must be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and sober t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are able to better handle life circumstances more effectively if they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior solution.
