Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver treatment to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for people involved with drug abuse, as individuals with mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help people through a detailed rehab plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while addressing drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe environment is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances more effectively when they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs as a possible option.
