Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved in drug abuse, as people with mental health disorders often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help people using a detailed rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with drug abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure setting is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which must be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which will help them develop more effective coping methods so they are able to better handle life situations well once they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs as a possible solution.
