Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver treatment to deal with both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for people involved in drug abuse, as those that have mental health problems often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to to feel some form of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help men and women through a detailed treatment plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Offering a secure environment is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their program and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and abstinen t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances more proficiently once they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
