Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehab to handle both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for those involved with drug abuse, as people who have mental health issues frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help people through a thorough rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Providing a secure setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their program and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are able to better deal with life circumstances more effectively when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
