Dual diagnosis rehabs are programs which deliver rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health disorders frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help men and women through a detailed treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while also dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure environment is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things that may compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot environmental factors 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 individual to be mentally stable and abstinen t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to handle life situations more proficiently after they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior solution.
