Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehab to handle both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for people involved in drug abuse, as individuals with mental health problems frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some type of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help people through a comprehensive rehab plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their treatment plan and development. Rehab counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab that helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are able to better deal with life circumstances more proficiently after they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as a possible answer.
