Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to handle both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for those involved in drug abuse, as people with mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help individuals through a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe and secure environment is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things which may compromise their program and advancement. Rehab counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors 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 abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so they are able to better deal with life situations more proficiently once they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs as a possible answer.
