Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver treatment to deal with both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for people involved with substance abuse, as people with mental health problems often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help people through a detailed rehab plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe and secure environment is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things which may cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so that they are better able to handle life circumstances more proficiently once they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
