Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehabilitation to address both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for people involved in drug abuse, as people with mental health disorders frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help people through a detailed rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as addressing alcohol and drug abuse issues. Providing a secure environment is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that may cut across their program and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and sober t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life situations more effectively once they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior option.
