Professional rehab counselors inside a hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn the tide so that they no longer find the necessity to use drugs and alcohol like this, and instead create solutions to make their mental health issue more manageable. Medication is often used to accomplish this, but this isn't the solution needed in every case. For instance, even subtle environmental adjustments to one's life can relieve stress and place a whole new perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse drugs or alcohol. Counselling in the hospital inpatient program can help reveal such issues so they can be resolved.
