Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for individuals involved with drug abuse, as individuals with mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help men and women using a thorough rehab plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with substance abuse issues. Providing a safe environment is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things which could cut across their program and advancement. Rehab counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things which must be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and sober t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are able to better deal with life situations more proficiently after they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
