Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide treatment to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for individuals involved in substance abuse, as those that have mental health issues frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help men and women using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe and secure setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their program and development. Rehab counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are able to better deal with life situations more effectively once they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
