Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to spot 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 remain mentally healthy and abstinen t after they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life circumstances well if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as a possible answer.
