Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction issues at the same time. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for people involved in drug and alcohol abuse, as individuals with mental health disorders often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of short-term relief from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals will help individuals using a detailed rehabilitation plan all directed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Providing a secure setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which may cut across their program and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which have to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life situations well if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs as a possible answer.
