Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some form of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help people using a thorough rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Providing a safe and secure setting is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things that may compromise their treatment plan and development. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that need to be addressed in order for the individual to be 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 handle life situations more effectively once they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
