Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for individuals involved with substance abuse, as those that have mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help men and women using a comprehensive treatment plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while also dealing with drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their program and advancement. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which will help them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life circumstances well when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
