Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehabilitation to deal with both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for those involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health issues often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help men and women through a detailed rehab plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with substance abuse issues. Providing a safe and secure setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their program and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab that helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to deal with life situations more effectively once they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as an inferior answer.
