Hospital inpatient programs are rehab facilities for substance abuse, that provide a private and medical setting for individuals in recovery. A hospital inpatient program may be a beneficial alternative for someone who has a co-occurring mental health disorder, and for someone with other medical needs which might need to be overseen by medical experts. Those who partake in that program may benefit from mental health services whilst dealing with issues which may have prompted their drug abuse. Very often people who have a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate rather than effectively addressing their problem. Professional rehabilitation counselors inside a hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn the tide so they no longer find the necessity to use alcohol and drugs this way, and instead create ways to make their mental health issue more manageable. Medicine is often used to accomplish this, but this isn't the answer needed in every case. For instance, even slight environmental modifications in one's life can relieve stress and place a new perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Counselling in the hospital inpatient program will help expose such problems so they can be resolved.
