Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehabilitation to deal with both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for individuals involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health problems frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help men and women through a thorough treatment plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with drug abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more effective coping methods so that they are able to better deal with life situations more effectively once they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
