Hospital inpatient programs are rehab programs for substance abuse, that provide a private and clinical setting for individuals in recovery. A hospital inpatient program might be a beneficial option for someone that has a co-occurring mental health issue, and for someone with other medical requirements which should be overseen by medical professionals. Folks who partake in that program can be helped by mental health services while also dealing with issues which may have prompted their abusing drugs. Frequently people who have a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate as opposed to efficiently responding to their disorder. Professional rehabilitation counselors in a hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn things around so that they will no longer find the need to use drugs and alcohol in this way, and instead develop solutions to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Medication is often used to do this, but this isn't the solution needed in all cases. For instance, even subtle environmental modifications in one's life can decrease stress and put a whole new perspective on things so that the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Therapy within a hospital inpatient program will help expose such issues so they can be resolved.
