Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to handle both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for folks involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health problems often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help people through a thorough treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with substance abuse concerns. Providing a safe and secure setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and sober t whenever 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 effectively when they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior solution.
