Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for those involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some type of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help people through a detailed rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing substance abuse concerns. Providing a safe and secure environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that may cut across their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things which must be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and sober t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab that helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life situations well if they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
