Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide treatment to deal with both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for people involved with substance abuse, as individuals with mental health problems often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help men and women using a detailed treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with substance abuse problems. Offering a safe setting is key so that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their program and development. Rehab counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which will help them develop far better coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life circumstances well after they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs as an inferior option.
