Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehab to handle both mental health and addiction concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for people involved in drug abuse, as those that have mental health issues often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help men and women through a detailed rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure environment is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things that should be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life circumstances more proficiently once they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
