Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehabilitation to handle both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for people involved with drug abuse, as those that have mental health problems often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help people through a thorough rehab plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with substance abuse concerns. Offering a secure environment is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and abstinen t after they leave 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 deal with life circumstances more effectively if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as an inferior option.
