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 people with mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help men and women using a detailed rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with substance abuse concerns. Providing a secure environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things which may compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that need to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop more effective coping methods so they are able to better handle life situations more effectively when they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior answer.
