Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to address both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for folks involved with substance abuse, as people with mental health disorders often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to to feel some type of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help men and women using a comprehensive rehab plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with drug abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things that must be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are able to better handle life situations more effectively after they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
