Within a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment professionals can help people using a detailed rehab plan all geared towards restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health whilst dealing with alcohol and drug abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure setting is vital to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be relaxed and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and progress. Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things that should be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally healthy and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral treatment which will help them develop more effective coping methods so that they are better able to handle life situations better when they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
