Offering a secure setting is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that may cut across their treatment plan and progress. Treatment counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that need to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are able to better handle life situations more proficiently if they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as a possible answer.
