Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for individuals involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health issues frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help people through a thorough treatment plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things which could compromise their program and advancement. Rehab counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that must be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which will help them develop more effective coping methods so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances more proficiently if they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as a possible option.
