Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver treatment to handle both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health problems often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to to feel some type of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help people through a thorough rehab plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health whilst addressing substance abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure environment is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their program and development. Rehab counselors will work to recognize 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 person to be mentally stable and sober t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more effective coping methods so that they are able to better deal with life situations well if they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
