Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide treatment to handle both addiction and mental health concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for individuals involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help men and women using a thorough rehab plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing substance abuse concerns. Offering a safe environment is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their treatment plan and development. Rehab counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to handle life situations well if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible option.
