Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver treatment to address both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for people involved in drug abuse, as people with mental health problems frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help men and women through a thorough rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with substance abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things which need to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life circumstances more effectively once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior solution.
