Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide treatment to handle both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for people involved in drug abuse, as individuals with mental health issues often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to to feel some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help men and women through a detailed rehab plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with substance abuse issues. Providing a safe setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which will help them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are able to better handle life circumstances well if they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as a possible option.
