Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver treatment to address both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health issues often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help men and women through a thorough rehab plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing alcohol and drug abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their program and progress. Rehab counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and sober t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life situations more proficiently when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs as a possible solution.
