Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to deal with both addiction and mental health concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved in substance abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help individuals through a detailed rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst addressing alcohol and drug abuse issues. Providing a safe setting is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify 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 stable and abstinen t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life circumstances more effectively if they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs as a possible solution.
