Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide treatment to deal with both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for those involved with substance abuse, as individuals with mental health disorders frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help men and women using a thorough rehab plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while also dealing with drug abuse issues. Providing a secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their treatment plan and development. Rehab counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life circumstances more proficiently if they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
