Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to deal with both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for those involved with drug abuse, as those that have mental health disorders frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help individuals through a comprehensive treatment plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing drug abuse issues. Offering a secure environment is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab that helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are able to better handle life situations more proficiently once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
