Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehabilitation to handle both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved with drug abuse, as individuals with mental health issues often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help men and women through a thorough treatment plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with drug abuse issues. Providing a safe setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which may compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment that helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life situations more effectively when they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
