Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehabilitation to deal with both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for people involved in substance abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help men and women through a thorough treatment plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing drug abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their program and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and abstinen t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more effective coping methods so that they are better able to handle life situations more proficiently if they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior option.
