Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehabilitation to deal with both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for those involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health problems frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help men and women through a thorough rehab plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while also dealing with substance abuse issues. Providing a safe and secure setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things which may compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are better able to deal with life situations more effectively after they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior option.
