Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to handle both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for those involved in drug abuse, as those that have mental health issues frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help people through a comprehensive rehab plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst addressing alcohol and drug abuse issues. Providing a safe environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are able to better handle life situations better after they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior solution.
