Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide treatment to deal with both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for folks involved in drug abuse, as people who have mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help men and women through a detailed treatment plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing substance abuse issues. Providing a safe setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things which could compromise their program and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that must be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life situations more proficiently when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
