Hospital inpatient programs are rehab centers for drug abuse, which give a private and clinical setting for people in recovery. A hospital inpatient program can be a beneficial choice for someone that has a co-occurring mental health issue, and for someone with other medical needs which may need to be overseen by doctors. People who partake in this program may benefit from mental health services whilst addressing issues who have prompted their drug use. Often people with a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate as an alternative to efficiently responding to their problem. Professional rehabilitation counselors in a hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn the tide so they will no longer find the need to use alcohol and drugs in this way, and instead create methods to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Medicine is often used to achieve this, however, this isn't the solution needed in all cases. As an example, even subtle environmental adjustments to one's life can decrease stress and put a fresh perspective on things so that the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Counselling in a hospital inpatient program will help expose such issues so they can be handled.
