Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehabilitation to deal with both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for individuals involved in drug abuse, as individuals with mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help men and women using a detailed treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Offering a secure setting is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things that have to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life situations better once they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
