Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for those involved in drug abuse, as people who have mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help people through a detailed treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health as well as addressing substance abuse issues. Offering a safe setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and sober t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are able to better deal with life situations well when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as an inferior option.
