Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide treatment to handle both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is an extremely common circumstance for people involved with substance abuse, as people with mental health problems often medicate themselves with alcohol and drugs to experience some sort of short-term respite from their disorder. In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help men and women using a comprehensive rehab plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health whilst dealing with drug abuse issues. Providing a secure environment is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Treatment counselors will work to spot 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 remain mentally healthy and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment that helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to deal with life circumstances well after they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior solution.
