Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for those involved with substance abuse, as people with mental health problems often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help individuals using a comprehensive treatment plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also dealing with substance abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more effective coping methods so that they are better able to handle life circumstances better if they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible option.
