Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide treatment to handle both addiction and mental health concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for people involved with drug abuse, as people who have mental health issues often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some type of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help people through a thorough treatment plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with drug abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure setting is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that may cut across their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life circumstances well if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
