Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for individuals involved with substance abuse, as people with mental health disorders often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help people using a detailed rehab plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with substance abuse problems. Providing a safe setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life situations better if they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior solution.
