Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to handle both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for people involved with substance abuse, as those that have mental health problems often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help individuals through a comprehensive rehab plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while addressing substance abuse problems. Providing a secure setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that may cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Treatment counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which need to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so they are able to better deal with life situations better once they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
