Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide treatment to handle both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved in drug abuse, as individuals with mental health disorders often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some type of short-term relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help men and women through a thorough treatment plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with substance abuse issues. Offering a secure setting is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things which may cut across their program and advancement. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and sober t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life circumstances better once they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
