Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to deal with both addiction and mental health concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for people involved with substance abuse, as people with mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help people using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with drug abuse problems. Offering a safe setting is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things that may cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are able to better handle life circumstances better after they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs as an inferior answer.
