Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver treatment to handle both addiction and mental health concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for individuals involved in drug abuse, as those that have mental health problems often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help people through a thorough treatment plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing drug abuse problems. Offering a secure environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which will help them develop far better coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life situations more proficiently after they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior answer.
