Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver treatment to address both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for individuals involved with drug abuse, as those that have mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help men and women using a comprehensive rehab plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Providing a safe environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and sober t when they leave 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 better able to handle life circumstances more proficiently when they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
