Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehab to deal with both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for individuals involved with drug abuse, as people who have mental health issues frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help people using a thorough rehab plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing substance abuse concerns. Offering a secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and sober t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life situations more effectively after they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior answer.
