Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide treatment to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for folks involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health problems often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help men and women through a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while addressing substance abuse issues. Providing a safe and secure setting is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things which may compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are able to better deal with life circumstances more effectively when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible option.
