Hospital inpatient programs are rehab facilities for drug abuse, which provide a private and medical setting for people in recovery. A hospital inpatient program might be a beneficial option for someone who has a co-occurring mental health issue, and for someone with other medical requirements which should be overseen by doctors. Individuals who partake in such a program can usually benefit from mental health services while addressing issues who have prompted their drug use. Usually those that have a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate as opposed to effectively addressing their problem. Professional rehab counselors in the hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn things around so they no longer find the necessity to use alcohol and drugs in this manner, and instead develop methods to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Medication is often used to do this, however this isn't the solution needed in all cases. As an example, even slight environmental changes in one's life can decrease stress and put a fresh perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse drugs or alcohol. Counselling within a hospital inpatient program can help expose such issues so they can be resolved.
