Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehabilitation to handle both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as people with mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of temporary relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help people using a comprehensive rehab plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while also dealing with alcohol and drug abuse problems. Offering a safe and secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their program and progress. Rehab counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to deal with life situations better after they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior answer.
