Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide treatment to handle both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved in substance abuse, as people who have mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help men and women using a detailed treatment plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with substance abuse problems. Offering a safe setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that may cut across their program and progress. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which must be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and sober t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life situations better once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
