Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver treatment to address both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for those involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health problems frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help people using a detailed rehab plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing substance abuse issues. Offering a safe environment is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which may compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are better able to handle life circumstances more effectively once they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
