Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for people involved in drug abuse, as people who have mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help men and women through a thorough rehab plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with drug abuse concerns. Providing a secure environment is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their program and advancement. Rehab counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more effective coping methods so that they are able to better deal with life situations well when they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as an inferior answer.
