Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide treatment to handle both mental health and addiction concerns concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent situation for people involved with substance abuse, as those that have mental health disorders frequently medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some type of temporary relief from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help individuals using a comprehensive rehab plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with drug abuse issues. Providing a secure environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which could cut across their program and advancement. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which need to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life situations more proficiently when they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior answer.
