Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehab to address both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for those involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health disorders often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to to feel some type of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help men and women through a detailed rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with substance abuse concerns. Providing a safe setting is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that may compromise their program and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things that should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to handle life circumstances well if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
