Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver treatment to deal with both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for those involved in substance abuse, as individuals with mental health issues frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help individuals using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their program and advancement. Rehab counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that must be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to handle life situations more effectively after they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as a possible solution.
