In a dual diagnosis rehab, rehabilitation counselors can help men and women using a thorough treatment plan all targeted at restoring and stabilizing mental, emotional and physical health while also addressing alcohol and drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure setting is essential so that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things which may cut across their program and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and sober t when they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which helps them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so they are better able to handle life situations more effectively after they leave dual diagnosis rehab rather than turning to drugs as an inferior solution.
