Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehab to address both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for people involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help people using a comprehensive rehab plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with drug abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which could compromise their program and advancement. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and sober t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life situations well once they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
