Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health disorders frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help men and women using a thorough rehab plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing substance abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure setting is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that may compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things which have to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life situations better once they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs as an inferior option.
