Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to deal with both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health problems often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help people using a thorough rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure setting is key so that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that may compromise their program and progress. Rehabilitation 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 be mentally stable and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life situations better once they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible option.
