Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehabilitation to deal with both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved in drug abuse, as individuals with mental health disorders often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help individuals using a detailed rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with substance abuse problems. Offering a secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that may cut across their program and advancement. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life circumstances more effectively after they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
