Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to address both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for those involved with substance abuse, as individuals with mental health issues frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help men and women using a comprehensive treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their program and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to be 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 efficient coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life situations more effectively if they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior answer.
