Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehab to deal with both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for individuals involved in substance abuse, as those that have mental health problems often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help men and women through a comprehensive treatment plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with substance abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure setting is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their program and advancement. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and sober t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life situations better once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as a possible option.
