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 circumstance for individuals involved with drug abuse, as those that have mental health issues frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help people using a detailed rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with drug abuse concerns. Providing a secure setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life situations better once they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
