Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for those involved with substance abuse, as people who have mental health issues often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help men and women through a detailed rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Offering a secure environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life situations better after they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
