Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver treatment to address both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health problems frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help people through a comprehensive rehab plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with drug abuse issues. Offering a secure setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things which may cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things that should be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and sober t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life circumstances more proficiently once they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior solution.
