Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to address both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for those involved in drug abuse, as people with mental health issues often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help men and women through a thorough rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing alcohol and drug abuse issues. Offering a secure environment is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that may cut across their program and progress. Rehab counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more effective coping methods so that they are able to better deal with life situations more effectively if they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as an inferior answer.
