Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver treatment to deal with both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for those involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health problems often medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to to feel some form of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help men and women through a detailed rehab plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that may cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and sober t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to deal with life situations more effectively when they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior answer.
