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

In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation professionals can help individuals through a thorough treatment plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing drug abuse issues. Providing a safe environment is key so that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things that need to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop more effective coping methods so that they are able to better deal with life situations well after they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to drugs as an inferior solution.
