Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to address both addiction and mental health concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for people involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help individuals through a comprehensive rehab plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with drug abuse problems. Providing a safe setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that have to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop far better coping methods so that they are better able to handle life situations well once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior solution.
