Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehab to handle both addiction and mental health concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved in substance abuse, as people with mental health issues frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help individuals using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while addressing alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe and secure setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their program and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which will help them develop far better coping methods so that they are able to better handle life situations well when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as a possible answer.
