Providing a safe environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their program and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to identify environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which have to be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and abstinen t whenever they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehab which will help them develop more efficient coping mechanisms so that they are able to better deal with life circumstances more effectively once they depart dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as a possible answer.
