Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health issues often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to to feel some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help men and women through a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing drug abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure environment is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which should 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 that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life circumstances more effectively when they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior answer.
