Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for individuals involved with substance abuse, as people with mental health issues often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help people using a comprehensive rehab plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while addressing substance abuse issues. Providing a secure environment is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which may compromise their program and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which must be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life circumstances better after they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
