Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehab to address both addiction and mental health concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for individuals involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health disorders often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help people using a thorough treatment plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as addressing substance abuse problems. Providing a secure setting is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and abstinen t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are able to better handle life situations well when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as a possible answer.
