Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide rehab to handle both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for individuals involved in drug abuse, as individuals with mental health problems often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help people using a detailed rehab plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing substance abuse concerns. Offering a safe setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and sober t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life circumstances better after they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior option.
