Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver treatment to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for individuals involved in drug abuse, as people with mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help people through a thorough rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and sober t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to deal with life situations more effectively if they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior solution.
