Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors can help people using a comprehensive rehabilitation plan all targeted at restoring and replenishing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing substance abuse issues. Providing a secure environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that have to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab that helps them develop far better coping methods so they are better able to deal with life situations better if they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior solution.
