Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for folks involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health issues frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help men and women through a detailed treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing substance abuse problems. Providing a safe setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that may cut across their program and progress. Treatment counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and sober t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which will help them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life situations more proficiently once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior option.
