Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehab to deal with both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very common situation for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health problems frequently self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help individuals through a detailed rehab plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Providing a secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which may compromise their program and advancement. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which have to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are able to better handle life situations well when they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs as a possible solution.
