Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver treatment to deal with both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for people involved in substance abuse, as people who have mental health problems frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help men and women using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe and secure environment is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that may cut across their program and development. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to handle life circumstances more effectively if they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior solution.
