Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved in substance abuse, as those that have mental health disorders frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help men and women through a comprehensive treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while addressing drug abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure environment is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that must be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life circumstances well when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
