In a dual diagnosis rehab, treatment counselors will help men and women using a detailed rehabilitation plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health while dealing with substance abuse problems. Providing a safe and secure environment is key so that dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their treatment plan and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that have to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally stable and abstinen t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab that helps them develop more effective coping methods so that they are able to better deal with life situations well once they depart dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs as an inferior answer.
