Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to handle both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved with substance abuse, as people with mental health issues often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help men and women using a detailed treatment plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Providing a safe and secure setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot 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 healthy and sober t whenever they leave 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 deal with life situations more effectively if they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
