Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health issues frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help men and women through a detailed treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing alcohol and drug abuse issues. Offering a secure setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life circumstances more proficiently after they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior option.
