Hospital inpatient programs are rehabilitation centers for drug abuse, that provide an exclusive and medical setting for folks 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 needs which should be overseen by experts. Individuals who partake in this particular program can be helped by mental health services as well as dealing with issues which may have prompted their substance abuse. Often those that have a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate rather than effectively responding to their disorder. Professional rehabilitation counselors in a hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn things around so that they no longer find the necessity to use alcohol and drugs in this way, and instead create solutions to make their mental health issue more manageable. Prescription medication is often used to accomplish this, however, this isn't the solution needed in all cases. For instance, even slight environmental changes in one's life can alleviate stress and place a whole new perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Therapy in the hospital inpatient program can help expose such problems so they can be resolved.
