Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help men and women through a detailed rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while addressing drug abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure setting is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which may cut across their program and advancement. Treatment counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and sober t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are better able to handle life situations more proficiently when they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs as an inferior option.
