Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehabilitation to deal with both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for individuals involved in drug abuse, as people who have mental health problems often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to to feel some kind of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help men and women using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with substance abuse concerns. Providing a safe setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to identify 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 person to remain mentally healthy and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab that helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life circumstances well after they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
