Providing a safe and secure setting is vital so that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things which could cut across their program and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or other things that need to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life situations well if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible answer.
