Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehab to handle both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for those involved in drug abuse, as people who have mental health issues often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help men and women using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing drug abuse concerns. Providing a secure environment 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. Rehabilitation counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and sober t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which will help them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to deal with life situations well after they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior answer.
