Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to spot environmental issues in the client's life such as negative people in their lives or other things that should be addressed in order for the person to be mentally healthy and sober t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral rehabilitation which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so they are better able to handle life circumstances more effectively once they leave dual diagnosis rehab as opposed to returning to drugs and alcohol as an inferior solution.
