Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for folks involved with drug abuse, as those that have mental health disorders frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help individuals using a detailed rehab plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with substance abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life circumstances more proficiently if they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior answer.
