Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for people involved in substance abuse, as those that have mental health issues often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help men and women through a comprehensive rehab plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Offering a safe setting is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their program and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and sober t when they leave 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 deal with life situations more effectively if they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as a possible option.
