Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to handle both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health problems frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help people using a comprehensive rehab plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Providing a safe setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their program and progress. Rehab counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and sober t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more effective coping methods so that they are able to better handle life circumstances more proficiently when they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs as an inferior solution.
