Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for individuals involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health issues often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to to feel some sort of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help people using a thorough treatment plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with drug abuse concerns. Offering a secure environment is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which may compromise their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and sober t once 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 better able to handle life circumstances well after they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
