Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehab to address both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved in drug abuse, as people with mental health disorders often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help men and women through a thorough treatment plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure environment is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which must be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop far better coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life circumstances more proficiently after they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as a possible answer.
