Hospital inpatient programs are rehab facilities for substance abuse, that provide a private and clinical setting for folks in recovery. A hospital inpatient program may be a beneficial option for someone that has a co-occurring mental health issue, or for someone with other medical requirements which may need to be overseen by doctors. People who partake in this program may benefit from mental health services as well as dealing with issues which may have prompted their substance abuse. Usually people who have a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate rather than efficiently responding to their disorder. Professional rehab counselors in the hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn the tide so that they will no longer find the necessity to use alcohol and drugs in this manner, and instead develop methods to make their mental health issue more manageable. Medication is often used to accomplish this, however, this isn't the answer needed in every case. For instance, even slight environmental adjustments to one's life can decrease stress and place a whole new perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Therapy in a hospital inpatient program can help expose such issues so they can be handled.
