Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehabilitation to deal with both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for folks involved with substance abuse, as those that have mental health problems frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help individuals using a comprehensive rehab plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Offering a secure environment is key so that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their treatment plan and development. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop far better coping methods so they are better able to deal with life situations more effectively when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
