Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide treatment to handle both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as those that have mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help people using a detailed treatment plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Offering a secure setting is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which may compromise their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life situations better if they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
