Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehabilitation to deal with both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health problems frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help people through a thorough rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with substance abuse concerns. Providing a safe environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things that have to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and sober t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which will help them develop far better coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life situations more proficiently after they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior solution.
