Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehab to address both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for people involved in drug abuse, as individuals with mental health issues often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help men and women using a detailed treatment plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing substance abuse problems. Providing a secure setting is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and development. Rehab 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 individual to stay mentally stable and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life situations better if they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
