Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver treatment to deal with both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for folks involved in substance abuse, as those that have mental health issues often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help men and women using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst addressing alcohol and drug abuse issues. Providing a secure environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their program and advancement. Rehab counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and sober t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more effective coping methods so they are able to better handle life situations more effectively if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs as a possible option.
