Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide treatment to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for folks involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health disorders frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help individuals through a comprehensive treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with substance abuse issues. Providing a safe environment is key so that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which need to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to handle life situations better after they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs as a possible option.
