Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehabilitation to handle both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for those involved in substance abuse, as people with mental health disorders often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help people through a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure environment is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab that helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life situations more effectively once they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
