Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for individuals involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health problems frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help men and women using a comprehensive rehab plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing drug abuse concerns. Providing a safe environment is key so that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and development. Rehab counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which have to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop far better coping methods so they are better able to handle life situations well if they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior option.
