Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehabilitation to handle both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some form of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help individuals through a comprehensive treatment plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe setting is key so that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which need to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which will help them develop more effective coping methods so that they are better able to handle life situations better when they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as a possible option.
