Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehabilitation to deal with both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for those involved with substance abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help people using a thorough rehab plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing substance abuse problems. Offering a secure setting is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which may compromise their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will 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 individual to be mentally healthy and sober t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are able to better handle life situations more effectively after they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
