Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehab to address both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for those involved in drug abuse, as people who have mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help men and women through a thorough rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with drug abuse problems. Providing a secure setting is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their program and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab that helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life circumstances more effectively if they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
