Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehab to handle both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for folks involved in substance abuse, as people with mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help men and women through a detailed rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing substance abuse concerns. Providing a safe and secure setting is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their program and advancement. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab that helps them develop more effective coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life situations better if they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as an inferior solution.
