Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide treatment to handle both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for people involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help individuals through a detailed rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with substance abuse issues. Providing a safe and secure setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which could compromise their program and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and sober t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life circumstances more effectively if they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible option.
