Rehab counselors will work to spot environmental issues in the client's life including negative people in their lives or any other things that need to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and abstinen t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life situations more proficiently once they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to alcohol and drugs as an inferior answer.
