Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to deal with both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for individuals involved with substance abuse, as individuals with mental health problems frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help people through a detailed rehab plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as addressing substance abuse issues. Offering a safe setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their program and development. Treatment counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and sober t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life situations well when they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs as a possible solution.
