Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide treatment to handle both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for individuals involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some form of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help individuals using a detailed rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with drug abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure setting is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which must be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are able to better handle life circumstances more effectively if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as a possible solution.
