Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide treatment to address both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health issues frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help men and women using a detailed rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with drug abuse problems. Offering a secure setting is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that may compromise their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the person 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 effective coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life circumstances better when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
