Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver treatment to handle both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for folks involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health issues often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help individuals using a comprehensive rehab plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with substance abuse concerns. Offering a secure setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and development. Rehab counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that have to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life situations well when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
