Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide treatment to deal with both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for those involved in drug abuse, as people with mental health disorders often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help men and women through a comprehensive treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst addressing drug abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that may compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are able to better deal with life circumstances more effectively when they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior option.
