Providing a safe environment is key to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and advancement. Treatment counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things that should be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more effective coping mechanisms so they are better able to deal with life circumstances more effectively when they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as an inferior option.
