Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver treatment to handle both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for those involved in drug abuse, as individuals with mental health problems often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help people using a comprehensive treatment plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their program and advancement. Treatment counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that need to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and sober t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop more effective coping methods so that they are able to better handle life situations well when they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior solution.
