Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for people involved in drug abuse, as people with mental health disorders often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help men and women using a detailed treatment plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with drug abuse problems. Providing a safe environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their program and advancement. Rehab counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life situations more effectively after they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs as an inferior solution.
