Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved with drug abuse, as those that have mental health issues often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help men and women 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 environment is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their program and development. Rehab counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more effective coping methods so they are able to better deal with life circumstances well when they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior option.
