Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehab to handle both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help men and women through a thorough treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst addressing alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Providing a secure setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to deal with life circumstances well when they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
