Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to address both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for individuals involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health disorders frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help people through a detailed rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe environment is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which may compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which will help them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life circumstances better after they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as an inferior option.
