Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehabilitation to handle both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for individuals involved with drug abuse, as those that have mental health issues often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help people using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with substance abuse problems. Offering a safe environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that must be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop far better coping methods so they are able to better deal with life situations more effectively once they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
