Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehabilitation to handle both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for folks involved with drug abuse, as people who have mental health issues often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help men and women through a detailed rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health as well as addressing alcohol and drug abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure setting is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their treatment plan and development. Rehab counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that must be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop more effective coping methods so that they are able to better handle life situations better when they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as a possible solution.
