Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehab to handle both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help people through a thorough treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with drug abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that may compromise their program and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that need to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and sober t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which helps them develop more effective coping methods so that they are able to better deal with life situations better once they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs as a possible solution.
