Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehabilitation to handle both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for individuals involved in drug abuse, as people with mental health issues frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help people through a detailed treatment plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health as well as addressing drug abuse concerns. Providing a secure environment is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or other things which need to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are able to better deal with life situations more effectively once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
