Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehab to address both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help individuals using a detailed treatment plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with substance abuse problems. Offering a secure setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Treatment counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which should be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and sober t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances more effectively when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as an inferior option.
