Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide treatment to address both addiction and mental health concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help people through a comprehensive treatment plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health whilst addressing drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that may cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that have to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop far better coping methods so that they are able to better handle life circumstances more proficiently when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
