Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which will help them develop more effective coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life situations better when they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior option.
