Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver treatment to address both addiction and mental health concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for folks involved with drug abuse, as those that have mental health problems frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help men and women through a thorough rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing alcohol and drug abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which may cut across their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things that should be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and abstinen t once 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 able to better handle life situations better if they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior answer.
