Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehabilitation to deal with both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for those involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help people through a detailed rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing alcohol and drug abuse problems. Providing a safe setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life circumstances well when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior option.
