Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehab to address both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for those involved with drug abuse, as those that have mental health problems frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help men and women using a thorough rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe and secure setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things which may cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life situations well when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior answer.
