Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehabilitation to handle both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for those involved in substance abuse, as people with mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help people using a thorough rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with substance abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure setting is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things which could cut across their program and development. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things which should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and abstinen t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab that helps them develop more effective coping methods so that they are better able to handle life circumstances better when they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
