Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for individuals involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to to feel some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help people using a comprehensive treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with drug abuse issues. Providing a safe and secure setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and sober t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab that helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are able to better handle life circumstances well if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior solution.
