Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which need to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to handle life circumstances well after they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior option.
