Providing a safe setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that could cut across their program and progress. Rehab counselors will work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life such as negative relationships or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the person to stay mentally stable and abstinen t after they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop far better coping methods so they are better able to deal with life circumstances well once they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
