Offering a secure environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things that may cut across their program and progress. Treatment counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the person to remain mentally healthy and sober t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more effective coping methods so that they are better able to handle life circumstances more proficiently after they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
