Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver treatment to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for folks involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health problems often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help people using a thorough rehab plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing alcohol and drug abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that must be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop far better coping methods so they are able to better handle life circumstances more proficiently after they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible option.
