Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehab to address both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for individuals involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health issues often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help people through a detailed rehab plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with substance abuse concerns. Offering a safe environment is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which may compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things that must be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and sober t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are able to better handle life circumstances well if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible option.
