Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide treatment to handle both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for people involved in substance abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to to feel some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help men and women using a thorough treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Providing a safe setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things that must be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life circumstances well once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs as a possible solution.
