Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide treatment to handle both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for people involved in drug abuse, as those that have mental health problems frequently 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 individuals using a thorough rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe setting is key so that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are better able to handle life circumstances more effectively when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior answer.
