Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver treatment to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for those involved with substance abuse, as people who have mental health problems frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help individuals through a thorough rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while addressing alcohol and drug abuse problems. Offering a safe environment is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that may cut across their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which need to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment that helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are able to better deal with life situations more proficiently if they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as an inferior answer.
