Providing a secure setting is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel at ease and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will continue to work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or any other things that need to 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 that helps them develop far better coping mechanisms so they are able to better handle life circumstances better when they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as a possible answer.
