Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health issues often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help men and women using a comprehensive treatment plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health while addressing drug abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which may cut across their program and progress. Treatment 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 stay mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life situations more effectively after they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as a possible solution.
