Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for individuals involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help men and women using a detailed rehab plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst addressing alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Providing a secure environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their program and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop more effective coping methods so that they are able to better handle life situations more proficiently when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
