Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehab to deal with both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common situation for those involved in drug abuse, as people with mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to to feel some form of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help men and women using a thorough rehab plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with substance abuse issues. Providing a safe and secure setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that may cut across their program and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which have to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life situations well once they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
