Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehab to deal with both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for those involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health issues often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help men and women using a thorough treatment plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while addressing alcohol and drug abuse problems. Providing a secure environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their treatment plan and development. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that have to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab that helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to handle life circumstances more effectively once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible option.
