Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to handle both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for people involved with drug abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help individuals using a comprehensive treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing drug abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure environment is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which could compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that have to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life situations better once they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as a possible answer.
