Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for those involved in substance abuse, as individuals with mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some kind of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help individuals through a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while addressing substance abuse issues. Offering a secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things which may cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are able to better handle life circumstances more effectively if they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible option.
