Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which deliver rehabilitation to address both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously.

Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals will help individuals through a thorough rehab plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health whilst addressing alcohol and drug abuse issues. Providing a safe and secure environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that must be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life situations well if they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as a possible solution.
