Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to handle both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for people involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health issues often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help individuals using a detailed rehab plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health whilst addressing substance abuse issues. Offering a secure environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so they are better able to deal with life situations well once they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
