Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver treatment to address both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for people involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some sort of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help individuals through a detailed treatment plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with substance abuse problems. Providing a secure environment is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things which could cut across their program and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and sober t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life situations more effectively when they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior answer.
