Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to handle both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved with substance abuse, as those that have mental health problems frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some type of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help men and women through a thorough rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with drug abuse problems. Providing a secure setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that may cut across their program and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things that must be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop far better coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life situations more effectively if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
