Providing a safe and secure environment is essential to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that could compromise their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things that 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 effective coping methods so they are able to better deal with life circumstances more effectively when they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as an inferior answer.
