Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for individuals involved in drug abuse, as those that have mental health problems often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help men and women through a thorough rehab plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while addressing alcohol and drug abuse issues. Offering a secure environment is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which have to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life situations more effectively once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as a possible solution.
