Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to address both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved with substance abuse, as people who have mental health issues frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help people through a thorough treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Offering a secure environment is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues 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 be mentally healthy and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are able to better handle life situations better once they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as an inferior answer.
