Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehabilitation to deal with both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for those involved in substance abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help people using a thorough rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe and secure setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things which could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more effective coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life situations well after they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as a possible option.
