Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver treatment to address both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for individuals involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health problems frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help people through a comprehensive rehab plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things that may cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Rehabilitation 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 stay mentally healthy and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life situations better after they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
