Offering a secure setting is key so that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain free from distraction from things which could compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things which should be addressed in order for the individual to be mentally stable and sober t once they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also reap the benefits of behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more effective coping methods so that they are better able to deal with life circumstances more proficiently if they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of turning to drugs and alcohol as a possible option.
