Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehab to handle both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for folks involved in substance abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help individuals using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing drug abuse issues. Providing a safe setting is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which have to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to handle life situations more effectively if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
