Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver treatment to address both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for people involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health disorders frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help people using a detailed treatment plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances more proficiently if they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior answer.
