Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for people involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health problems often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help people through a detailed rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Offering a safe setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are able to better handle life circumstances more effectively after they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior answer.
