Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to address both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for those involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health problems often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to to feel some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help individuals using a comprehensive rehab plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst addressing alcohol and drug abuse problems. Offering a secure setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their program and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that need to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and sober t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life situations more proficiently once they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
