Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to address both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for folks involved with substance abuse, as individuals with mental health problems frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help individuals through a detailed rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also dealing with substance abuse concerns. Providing a safe setting is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab that helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are better able to deal with life circumstances more effectively when they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior answer.
