Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver treatment to address both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for those involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help people through a comprehensive rehab plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Providing a secure setting is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which must be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop far better coping methods so that they are able to better handle life circumstances better if they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior answer.
