Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which deliver treatment to handle both addiction and mental health issues concurrently.

Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life circumstances well when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior answer.
