Treatment counselors will work to spot environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and sober t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are better able to handle life circumstances better after they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible solution.
