Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for people involved with substance abuse, as those that have mental health problems frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help men and women using a detailed rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing alcohol and drug abuse problems. Offering a safe environment is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their program and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are able to better handle life situations well after they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs as an inferior option.
