Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide treatment to address both addiction and mental health concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for individuals involved in substance abuse, as people who have mental health issues frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help men and women using a thorough rehab plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing drug abuse concerns. Providing a secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their program and advancement. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more effective coping methods so that they are better able to handle life situations more effectively once they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs as a possible option.
