Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver treatment to handle both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help individuals using a comprehensive treatment plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing substance abuse issues. Offering a secure setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and development. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to deal with life circumstances well once they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior answer.
