Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehab to address both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for people involved in drug abuse, as people with mental health issues frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help people using a detailed rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with drug abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure environment is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things which may compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that have to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and abstinen t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more effective coping methods so that they are able to better handle life circumstances better when they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
