Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to handle both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health issues frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to to feel some form of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help individuals through a detailed treatment plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while addressing alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life situations more proficiently after they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior solution.
