Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver treatment to address both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for individuals involved with substance abuse, as individuals with mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some form of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help people through a thorough rehab plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Providing a safe setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which could compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to 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 individual to stay mentally stable and abstinen t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life circumstances more proficiently when they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as a possible solution.
