Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for those involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health issues often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help people using a detailed treatment plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with substance abuse issues. Offering a secure setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable 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 they are able to better deal with life circumstances well if they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior answer.
