Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for individuals involved in drug abuse, as people with mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some form of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help individuals using a thorough treatment plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing alcohol and drug abuse problems. Offering a secure environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that must be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and sober t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop more effective coping methods so that they are better able to handle life situations more proficiently after they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior answer.
