Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehab to address both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for individuals involved with drug abuse, as people who have mental health problems frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some type of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help men and women through a comprehensive rehab plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Offering a secure environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that need to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and sober t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop more effective coping methods so they are able to better handle life circumstances more effectively once they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
