Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver treatment to address both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health issues often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help people using a thorough rehab plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with drug abuse issues. Providing a secure setting is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which may compromise their program and progress. Rehab counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that should be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and sober t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab that helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to handle life circumstances more proficiently if they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
