Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to handle both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for those involved with drug abuse, as individuals with mental health issues often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help men and women through a thorough rehab plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with drug abuse problems. Offering a secure environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things which could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab that helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to handle life circumstances well when they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as an inferior answer.
