Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which need to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life circumstances more effectively if they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as an inferior option.
