Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for individuals involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some type of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help men and women using a thorough rehab plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing drug abuse problems. Providing a secure setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which will help them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life circumstances more proficiently if they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior option.
