Providing a safe setting is essential to ensure that dual diagnosis clients can feel relaxed and remain free from distraction from things that could compromise their program and development. Rehabilitation counselors will continue to work to spot environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things that have to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and sober t when they leave dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which will help them develop more efficient coping methods so that they are able to better handle life circumstances well if they leave dual diagnosis rehab instead of returning to drugs as an inferior solution.
