Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehab to handle both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for folks involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health issues often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help people through a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst addressing substance abuse concerns. Offering a secure setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and sober t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are better able to handle life situations well if they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior answer.
