Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide treatment to address both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some sort of temporary respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help people through a thorough rehab plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with drug abuse issues. Offering a secure environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which must be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab that helps them develop more efficient coping methods so they are better able to deal with life circumstances better when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as a possible solution.
