Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehab to address both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for individuals involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health problems often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help men and women through a thorough rehab plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with drug abuse issues. Providing a safe and secure setting is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are able to better handle life circumstances better when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior option.
