Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some type of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help individuals through a detailed rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with substance abuse concerns. Offering a secure environment is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which may cut across their program and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life circumstances better after they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
