Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehabilitation to deal with both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health issues frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help people through a comprehensive rehab plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing substance abuse issues. Providing a safe environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which helps them develop far better coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life circumstances better once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
