Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for people involved in drug abuse, as people who have mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help people through a thorough treatment plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more effective coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life circumstances better when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior solution.
