Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for folks involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help individuals through a detailed treatment plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while addressing substance abuse concerns. Providing a safe setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their treatment plan and development. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things which need to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and sober t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life situations better once they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs as a possible solution.
