Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide treatment to deal with both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for people involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health problems often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help individuals using a detailed treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing drug abuse problems. Providing a secure environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which need to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life circumstances well after they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
