Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for individuals involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health problems often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to to feel some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help men and women through a thorough rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Providing a safe setting is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things which could compromise their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life circumstances more proficiently when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as an inferior solution.
