Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for people involved in drug abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help people using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with drug abuse concerns. Offering a secure environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their program and development. Rehab counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or other things which should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life situations more proficiently when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior solution.
