Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to address both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for folks involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health disorders often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help men and women using a detailed rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while addressing drug abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life circumstances more effectively if they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as a possible solution.
