Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to handle both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for individuals involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help men and women through a detailed treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with substance abuse concerns. Offering a secure environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their program and development. Rehab counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that have to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to handle life circumstances more proficiently once they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior option.
