Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver treatment to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health disorders frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some type of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help people through a detailed treatment plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing alcohol and drug abuse issues. Providing a safe setting is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that may cut across their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life situations well if they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as a possible answer.
