Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for individuals involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health issues often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help men and women using a detailed rehab plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe setting is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their program and advancement. Treatment counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which must be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to handle life circumstances more effectively when they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior solution.
