Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide treatment to deal with both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for folks involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of temporary respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help men and women through a thorough treatment plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with substance abuse problems. Offering a safe setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Treatment counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and abstinen t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life circumstances better when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
