Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver treatment to deal with both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for people involved in substance abuse, as people who have mental health issues frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help men and women through a comprehensive treatment plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing substance abuse issues. Providing a safe and secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which need to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and abstinen t when they depart 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 well when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as a possible answer.
