Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver treatment to address both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for individuals involved with substance abuse, as people who have mental health disorders frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help men and women using a thorough rehab plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure setting is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their program and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things which need to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and abstinen t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which will help them develop more effective coping methods so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances more proficiently once they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
