Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for those involved with drug abuse, as those that have mental health issues often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some form of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help individuals using a comprehensive rehab plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with drug abuse problems. Providing a secure environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that have to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable 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 they are better able to deal with life situations well if they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior option.
