Offering a secure environment is key to ensure dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances which could compromise their treatment plan and advancement. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that must be addressed in order for the individual to remain mentally stable and sober t after 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 answer.
