Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to address both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help people through a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Providing a safe environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which may compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are able to better deal with life situations better if they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs as a possible option.
