Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for people involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health issues often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help individuals using a detailed rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Offering a safe setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and sober t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment that helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are able to better handle life situations well when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs as an inferior option.
