Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide treatment to address both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved in drug abuse, as people with mental health issues frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors can help individuals using a detailed rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop far better coping methods so that they are better able to handle life circumstances more proficiently when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs as a possible answer.
