Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for those involved with drug abuse, as those that have mental health issues often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help men and women using a detailed rehab plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe setting is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that may compromise their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that must be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life circumstances better when they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior option.
