Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver treatment to handle both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for people involved in substance abuse, as people who have mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help people using a detailed treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing alcohol and drug abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are able to better handle life circumstances more proficiently once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior solution.
