Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehabilitation to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for individuals involved with substance abuse, as people who have mental health problems often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help people through a detailed rehab plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things which may cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life situations better once they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
