Offering a safe setting is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances which could cut across their program and progress. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental issues in the client's life including negative relationships or any other things which need to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally healthy and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are able to better handle life circumstances well once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to alcohol and drugs as a possible solution.
