Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for folks involved in drug abuse, as people who have mental health issues frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help individuals through a detailed treatment plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Providing a safe and secure setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or other things which need to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life situations more proficiently when they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
