Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for individuals involved with drug abuse, as individuals with mental health issues often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help people using a comprehensive treatment plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health as well as addressing substance abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure setting is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which need to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which will help them develop far better coping methods so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances better once they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as an inferior answer.
