Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver treatment to handle both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help men and women through a comprehensive rehab plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Providing a secure environment is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their program and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life circumstances well if they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as a possible answer.
