Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for people involved in substance abuse, as people who have mental health problems often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help people using a detailed treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with drug abuse problems. Offering a secure environment is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their program and progress. Treatment counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things which need to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop far better coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life situations more proficiently if they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
