Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehabilitation to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for individuals involved in drug abuse, as people with mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help individuals through a detailed rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while also dealing with substance abuse concerns. Providing a safe and secure environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their program and advancement. Treatment counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop far better coping methods so that they are better able to handle life circumstances better once they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs as a possible answer.
