Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehabilitation to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for individuals involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health problems often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help people through a comprehensive rehab plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Offering a safe setting is key so that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that may cut across their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life situations more proficiently when they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior answer.
