Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for individuals involved in drug abuse, as people who have mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help people using a detailed rehab plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with substance abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure environment is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and abstinen t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are able to better handle life situations more proficiently once they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior solution.
