Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to handle both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for people involved in drug abuse, as those that have mental health disorders frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help people through a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things that may cut across their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and sober t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life situations more proficiently when they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs as a possible solution.
