Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehab to handle both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved in substance abuse, as individuals with mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help men and women using a comprehensive treatment plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with drug abuse problems. Providing a safe environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things which may compromise their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or other things which must be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable 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 they are able to better deal with life circumstances more effectively after they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible option.
