Hospital inpatient programs are rehab programs for drug abuse, that provide a private and medical setting for those in recovery. A hospital inpatient program may be a beneficial option for somebody that has a co-occurring mental health disorder, or someone with other medical needs which should be overseen by medical experts. Individuals who partake in such a program can benefit from mental health services while dealing with issues who have prompted their drug use. Usually people with a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate rather than efficiently addressing their disorder. Professional rehab counselors in the hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn the tide so that they not find the need to use alcohol and drugs in this way, and instead create solutions to make their mental health issue more manageable. Medicine is often used to achieve this, however this isn't the answer needed in all cases. For example, even subtle environmental changes in one's life can alleviate stress and put a whole new perspective on things so that the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Therapy within a hospital inpatient program will help reveal such issues so they can be handled.
