Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide treatment to address both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health problems often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help individuals using a detailed rehab plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while dealing with drug abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their program and development. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life circumstances more effectively once they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior solution.
