Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for individuals involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help people through a thorough treatment plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Providing a secure environment is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and development. Rehab counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which need to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment that helps them develop far better coping methods so they are able to better handle life situations more effectively when they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
