Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehabilitation to deal with both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved in drug abuse, as those that have mental health issues frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help people through a comprehensive treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with drug abuse problems. Providing a secure setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things which may cut across their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and sober t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life situations more proficiently if they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as a possible solution.
