Providing a secure environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their program and development. Rehabilitation counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things that have to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally stable and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are able to better deal with life circumstances more proficiently if they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior option.
