Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver treatment to deal with both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for individuals involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health issues frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to to feel some form of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help individuals using a detailed rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as addressing alcohol and drug abuse problems. Offering a secure setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab that helps them develop far better coping methods so they are better able to handle life situations well after they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as a possible option.
