Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehabilitation to deal with both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for those involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health issues often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to to feel some type of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help individuals using a detailed rehab plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while addressing drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which need to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which will help them develop more effective coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life situations more proficiently if they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as an inferior answer.
