Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which provide treatment to deal with both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved in substance abuse, as those that have mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help people through a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe setting is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment that helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are able to better handle life circumstances well after they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as a possible answer.
