Offering a secure setting is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be at ease and remain free from distraction from things that may cut across their treatment plan and advancement. Treatment counselors will work to identify environmental factors in the client's life such as negative relationships or other things that 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 benefit from behavioral rehab which will help them develop more effective coping methods so they are able to better handle life situations more proficiently when they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior answer.
