Dual diagnosis rehabs are centers which provide rehabilitation to deal with both addiction and mental health issues concurrently.

In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help people using a comprehensive treatment plan all aimed at restoring and replenishing mental, emotional and physical health whilst addressing substance abuse issues. Providing a safe and secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that could cut across their treatment plan and progress.
