Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for those involved with substance abuse, as individuals with mental health issues often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help individuals using a detailed rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with substance abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure environment is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and sober t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life situations more effectively after they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
