Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide treatment to address both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for folks involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help people using a detailed rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing substance abuse issues. Offering a secure environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things which may cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which need to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are able to better handle life circumstances more effectively when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior solution.
