Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehabilitation to deal with both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for individuals involved in drug abuse, as people with mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help people through a thorough treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe setting is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which could cut across their treatment plan and development. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they leave 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 handle life circumstances well when they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as an inferior option.
