Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide treatment to address both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for folks involved with drug abuse, as those that have mental health issues often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help people using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while addressing substance abuse concerns. Providing a safe and secure setting is key so that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their program and advancement. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and sober t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more effective coping methods so that they are able to better handle life circumstances more effectively after they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs as a possible solution.
