Treatment counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life circumstances well when they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior solution.
