Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for individuals involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health problems often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help individuals using a thorough rehab plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing substance abuse problems. Offering a safe setting is key so that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are better able to deal with life situations more proficiently when they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as an inferior option.
