Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide treatment to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for people involved in drug abuse, as people with mental health issues frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help people using a thorough rehab plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things that may compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are able to better deal with life situations more effectively once they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior answer.
