Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver treatment to handle both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help individuals using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with substance abuse issues. Providing a safe setting is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their program and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which will help them develop far better coping methods so that they are better able to handle life situations better if they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs as an inferior solution.
