Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehab to handle both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some form of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help people through a thorough rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with drug abuse issues. Providing a safe and secure environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things which could cut across their program and development. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which need to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and sober t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are able to better handle life situations more effectively if they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as a possible solution.
