Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to address both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for folks involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health problems frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help individuals using a comprehensive rehab plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with substance abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that may compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to handle life circumstances more proficiently after they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior option.
