Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide treatment to address both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for those involved in substance abuse, as those that have mental health problems frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some type of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help people through a detailed rehab plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while also dealing with substance abuse concerns. Offering a safe environment is key so that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their program and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things which must be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are better able to handle life situations better when they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
