Rehabilitation counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and sober t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are able to better handle life circumstances more effectively once they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible option.
