Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehabilitation to handle both mental health and addiction concerns simultaneously. Dual diagnosis is a very prevalent circumstance for individuals involved with drug and alcohol abuse, as people who have mental health problems frequently self medicate with drugs and alcohol to experience some form of temporary respite from their disorder. Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help men and women through a detailed treatment plan all directed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Providing a safe and secure setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or other things which should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment that helps them develop more effective coping methods so they are better able to handle life situations better if they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior solution.
