Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehabilitation to handle both addiction and mental health issues simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for those involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health problems often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to to feel some type of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help men and women through a thorough rehab plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Offering a secure environment is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that may cut across their program and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life situations more effectively after they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior solution.
