Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehab to address both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent circumstance for those involved in drug abuse, as those that have mental health disorders frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help people through a thorough rehab plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while addressing substance abuse concerns. Offering a secure setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors 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 benefit from behavioral treatment that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life circumstances well once they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs as a possible option.
