Within a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals can help men and women using a comprehensive treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health as well as dealing with drug abuse issues. Offering a safe and secure environment is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things that may cut across their treatment plan and development. Rehab counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or other things which should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and abstinen t whenever they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more effective coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life situations more proficiently if they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs as a possible answer.
