Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to address both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for individuals involved in substance abuse, as people who have mental health problems often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help people through a comprehensive rehab plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst addressing drug abuse concerns. Providing a secure setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and abstinen t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop far better coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life circumstances well once they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible option.
