Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for folks involved with substance abuse, as individuals with mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help people through a detailed rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with substance abuse problems. Offering a secure setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their program and advancement. Rehab counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that have to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment that helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to handle life circumstances well once they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
