Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehab to address both addiction and mental health concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved in substance abuse, as people who have mental health issues often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some form of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help people using a comprehensive rehab plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while addressing substance abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things that may compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things which should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to handle life situations better if they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior solution.
