Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide treatment to handle both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for those involved with substance abuse, as individuals with mental health problems often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help people using a thorough treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure environment is key so that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that may cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which need to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop far better coping methods so that they are able to better handle life circumstances well after they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs as a possible answer.
