Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehabilitation to handle both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for individuals involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab counselors will help people through a thorough rehab plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with substance abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that must be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and sober t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are able to better handle life circumstances more proficiently once they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
