Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehab to handle both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help people using a thorough rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing substance abuse concerns. Offering a secure setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that may cut across their program and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop far better coping methods so that they are able to better deal with life situations more effectively when they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
