Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide treatment to address both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help people through a thorough rehab plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Offering a safe setting is key so that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things which need to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to deal with life circumstances well once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
