Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver treatment to deal with both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for those involved in drug abuse, as people with mental health issues often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to to feel some sort of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help people using a detailed rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing substance abuse problems. Offering a safe setting is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which could cut across their program and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and sober t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life situations more effectively when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior option.
