Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehabilitation to handle both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for people involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health issues often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help men and women using a thorough treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst addressing alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their program and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which will help them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life situations well after they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior solution.
