Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide treatment to handle both mental health and addiction issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is an extremely prevalent situation for individuals involved in drug abuse, as people who have mental health disorders often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help individuals using a detailed rehabilitation plan all geared towards restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with substance abuse problems. Providing a safe environment is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their treatment plan and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and sober t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life situations well if they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior solution.
