Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for people involved with drug abuse, as people who have mental health problems often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to to feel some form of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help people using a detailed rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst addressing drug abuse issues. Providing a secure setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their program and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life situations more effectively if they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior option.
