Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for those involved in substance abuse, as people with mental health disorders frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help individuals using a thorough treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing substance abuse problems. Providing a secure setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things which could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify 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 person to be mentally stable and sober t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment that helps them develop far better coping methods so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances well if they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
