Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to address both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for individuals involved with drug abuse, as individuals with mental health problems often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help individuals using a comprehensive rehab plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with substance abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their program and development. Rehab counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that must be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and sober t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which helps them develop far better coping methods so they are better able to deal with life circumstances more proficiently when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
