Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver treatment to handle both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health problems often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help people through a detailed rehab plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing substance abuse concerns. Providing a safe and secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that must be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and sober t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are able to better handle life circumstances more effectively after they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as a possible answer.
