Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide treatment to handle both addiction and mental health concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for individuals involved with drug abuse, as individuals with mental health disorders often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help people through a detailed treatment plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as addressing substance abuse issues. Providing a safe setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life situations more proficiently if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior option.
