Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver treatment to address both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for folks involved in substance abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help people using a comprehensive rehab plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Providing a safe environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which may compromise their program and advancement. Treatment counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are able to better handle life situations more effectively after they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as an inferior solution.
