Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for individuals involved in drug abuse, as those that have mental health problems frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help people using a thorough treatment plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things which could compromise their program and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that must be addressed in order for the person to stay 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 mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life situations more effectively after they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
