Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for people involved with drug abuse, as people who have mental health issues often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help people through a comprehensive rehab plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing drug abuse concerns. Offering a secure environment is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things which need to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are able to better deal with life circumstances more proficiently if they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior answer.
