Providing a safe setting is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain free from distraction from things which may compromise their treatment plan and development. Treatment counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things which need to 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 treatment that helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are better able to deal with life situations more proficiently once they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible option.
