Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide treatment to deal with both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for individuals involved with drug abuse, as people with mental health problems often self medicate with drugs and alcohol to to feel some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help people using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with drug abuse problems. Providing a secure environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which should be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab that helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are able to better handle life situations more effectively after they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
