Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver treatment to address both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health problems often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help people through a comprehensive rehab plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also dealing with alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure environment is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their program and advancement. Rehabilitation counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment that helps them develop far better coping methods so they are able to better deal with life circumstances more effectively after they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as a possible answer.
