Treatment counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and sober t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which will help them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life circumstances better if they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior solution.
