Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to handle both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for folks involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health issues often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help men and women using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Offering a secure setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which may cut across their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more effective coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life situations well after they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior answer.
