Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver treatment to address both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for individuals involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health issues often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help people using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while addressing alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Offering a secure environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that have to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and abstinen t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life situations more proficiently if they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs as a possible answer.
