Hospital inpatient programs are rehabilitation facilities for substance abuse, which provide an exclusive and medical setting for people in recovery. A hospital inpatient program is often a beneficial option for someone that has a co-occurring mental health issue, and for someone with other medical requirements which may need to be overseen by medical experts. Individuals who partake in such a program can usually benefit from mental health services while also addressing issues which may have prompted their drug use. Usually people with a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate instead of efficiently addressing their disorder. Professional treatment counselors inside a hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn things around so that they no longer find the need to use alcohol and drugs in this way, and instead develop methods to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Medicine is often used to accomplish this, but this isn't the answer needed in all cases. For example, even slight environmental modifications in one's life can relieve stress and place a new perspective on things so that the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Therapy in the hospital inpatient program can help expose such issues so they can be resolved.
