Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide treatment to handle both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for those involved with substance abuse, as people who have mental health issues frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help individuals using a thorough rehab plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Providing a secure setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their program and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and sober t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so they are better able to deal with life circumstances more effectively once they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
