Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehabilitation to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved in substance abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help men and women through a comprehensive treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with substance abuse concerns. Providing a safe setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things which need to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and sober t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life situations well when they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior option.
