People who partake in such a program can be helped by mental health services while also dealing with issues which may have prompted their substance abuse. Very often those that have a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate as opposed to effectively responding to their problem. Professional rehab counselors in a hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn things around so that they not find the necessity to use alcohol and drugs in this way, and instead develop solutions to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Medicine is often used to accomplish this, however, this isn't the answer needed in all cases.

Therapy in a hospital inpatient program will help reveal such problems so they can be resolved.
