Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved with drug abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help people using a comprehensive treatment plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with substance abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure setting is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are able to better handle life situations more proficiently if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as a possible answer.
