Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to deal with both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for individuals involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some kind of temporary relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help individuals using a detailed rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with drug abuse issues. Providing a safe environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things which could compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that must be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and sober t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life situations more effectively when they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
