Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for individuals involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health issues often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help people using a detailed treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with substance abuse concerns. Offering a secure setting is key so that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things which should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life circumstances more proficiently once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as an inferior answer.
