Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehab to address both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for people involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health problems often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help men and women through a detailed rehab plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with substance abuse problems. Providing a safe setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things that may compromise their program and progress. Rehab counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that should 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 rehab which will help them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life circumstances well after they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior solution.
