Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for individuals involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health problems frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help individuals through a detailed treatment plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing substance abuse problems. Providing a safe environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their program and progress. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life situations more proficiently when they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs as a possible option.
