Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide treatment to deal with both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health disorders frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help individuals using a comprehensive treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while addressing substance abuse issues. Providing a secure setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that may compromise their program and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors 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 abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are able to better deal with life situations more proficiently when they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as a possible option.
