Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for individuals involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health problems often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help individuals using a detailed treatment plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and sober t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which will help them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life circumstances more proficiently if they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as an inferior solution.
