Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to address both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for those involved in drug abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help people using a thorough rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with alcohol and drug 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 could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop more effective coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life circumstances well after they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as a possible option.
