Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for people involved with drug abuse, as individuals with mental health issues often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help people using a thorough rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while addressing drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things which may compromise their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that must be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment that helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are able to better handle life situations better if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as an inferior answer.
