Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide treatment to handle both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for folks involved with drug abuse, as people who have mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary respite from their disorder. Within 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 dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Providing a safe setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and sober t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life situations more proficiently when they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as a possible solution.
