Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehab to address both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for individuals involved in drug abuse, as people with mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to to feel some type of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help people using a thorough treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing drug abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure setting is key so that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that may cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life situations more effectively after they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior solution.
