Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehabilitation to deal with both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for folks involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help people through a thorough rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing substance abuse problems. Providing a safe setting is key so that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things which must be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and sober t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life situations more proficiently after they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs as a possible answer.
