Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to handle both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for people involved in drug abuse, as people who have mental health problems often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help men and women using a thorough treatment plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Offering a secure setting is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that may cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which need to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life situations better after they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior option.
