Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehabilitation to deal with both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for individuals involved with substance abuse, as individuals with mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help people through a detailed treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with substance abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure environment is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things that must be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life situations well when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as a possible option.
