Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehab to handle both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for folks involved with drug abuse, as individuals with mental health issues frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help people using a comprehensive rehab plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with substance abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure setting is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their program and development. Rehabilitation counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab that helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to handle life situations more effectively after they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior solution.
