Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to address both addiction and mental health concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for people involved in substance abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some form of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors will help individuals using a detailed rehab plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while addressing drug abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their treatment plan and development. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment that helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are able to better handle life circumstances better once they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
