Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver treatment to handle both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for people involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help men and women through a thorough treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst addressing substance abuse concerns. Offering a safe setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their program and advancement. Rehab counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and sober t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances more effectively after they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs as a possible option.
