Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide treatment to handle both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for folks involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help individuals using a comprehensive treatment plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe and secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things which may compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to handle life circumstances more effectively once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior answer.
