Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to address both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for people involved with substance abuse, as people with mental health problems often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help men and women using a thorough rehab plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing drug abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that may cut across their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things that must 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 that helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are able to better handle life situations well after they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs as an inferior solution.
