Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for people involved with drug abuse, as individuals with mental health disorders often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to to feel some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help people using a detailed rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Providing a safe setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life situations better when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs as an inferior solution.
