A hospital inpatient program can be a beneficial alternative for somebody who has a co-occurring mental health issue, and for someone with other medical needs which may need to be overseen by medical professionals. People who partake in this program can be helped by mental health services while addressing issues which may have prompted their abusing drugs. Very often people who have a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate as opposed to efficiently addressing their disorder. Professional rehab counselors inside a hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn things around so that they will no longer find the need to use drugs and alcohol like this, and instead develop methods to make their mental health issue more manageable. Medicine is often used to accomplish this, however, this isn't the solution needed in all cases. For example, even slight environmental adjustments to one's life can relieve stress and place a fresh perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse drugs or alcohol. Counselling in a hospital inpatient program will help expose such problems so they can be resolved.
