Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver treatment to handle both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for individuals involved with substance abuse, as people who have mental health issues often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help individuals using a thorough rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with drug abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure setting is key so that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and sober t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life circumstances better once they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs as an inferior answer.
