Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide treatment to handle both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for people involved with drug abuse, as individuals with mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some sort of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help men and women through a detailed treatment plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health whilst addressing drug abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things which could compromise their program and development. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which helps them develop more effective coping methods so that they are able to better deal with life situations well once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior solution.
