Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for people involved with substance abuse, as people with mental health disorders frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help people through a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing drug abuse concerns. Providing a secure setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that may compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will work to identify 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 once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are able to better handle life situations better when they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
