Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for people involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help men and women using a comprehensive treatment plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their program and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment that helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are better able to deal with life situations more proficiently if they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
