Hospital inpatient programs are rehab facilities for drug abuse, that provide an exclusive and clinical setting for those in recovery. A hospital inpatient program may be a beneficial choice for someone who has a co-occurring mental health issue, or someone with other medical needs which might need to be overseen by medical experts. Folks who partake in such a program may benefit from mental health services while addressing issues which may have prompted their drug abuse. Very often people with a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate instead of efficiently responding to their problem. Professional treatment counselors in the hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn things around so that they no longer find the need to use drugs and alcohol in this way, and instead develop ways to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Medication is often used to accomplish this, but this isn't the answer needed in every case. As an example, even slight environmental modifications in one's life can decrease stress and put a fresh perspective on things so that the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Counselling within a hospital inpatient program will help expose such problems so they can be resolved.
