Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver treatment to handle both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for people involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health issues frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help men and women through a detailed rehab plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing substance abuse concerns. Providing a secure setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which will help them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to deal with life situations more proficiently when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as a possible solution.
