Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide treatment to handle both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for people involved with drug abuse, as those that have mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some form of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help people using a detailed treatment plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with substance abuse concerns. Providing a safe and secure setting is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their program and development. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which must be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life circumstances more proficiently after they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
