Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for those involved in drug abuse, as those that have mental health problems often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to to feel some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help individuals using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as addressing drug abuse problems. Providing a secure setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that may cut across their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things that should be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life situations well once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior answer.
