Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for individuals involved in substance abuse, as people with mental health issues frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help individuals through a detailed treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing drug abuse problems. Offering a secure setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will continue to 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 individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop far better coping methods so they are better able to deal with life situations well after they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as an inferior solution.
