Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehab to deal with both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved in substance abuse, as individuals with mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help individuals using a comprehensive rehab plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing substance abuse issues. Offering a secure setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are able to better handle life circumstances well once they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
