Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to deal with both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for people involved in substance abuse, as individuals with mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help people through a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop far better coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances more effectively once they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
