Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver treatment to deal with both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for individuals involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help men and women using a thorough treatment plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also addressing alcohol and drug abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure environment is key so that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which may cut across their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which must be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop more effective coping methods so that they are better able to handle life circumstances more proficiently after they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior answer.
