Hospital inpatient programs are rehab centers for drug abuse, which give an exclusive and clinical setting for individuals in recovery. A hospital inpatient program may be a beneficial alternative for someone that has a co-occurring mental health disorder, and someone with other medical requirements which might need to be overseen by doctors. People who partake in such a program may benefit from mental health services while also dealing with issues which may have prompted their abusing drugs. Often those that have a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate instead of effectively addressing their problem. Professional rehabilitation counselors inside a hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn the tide so they no longer find the need to use drugs and alcohol in this way, and instead develop solutions to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Medicine is often used to accomplish this, but this isn't the solution needed in all cases. For instance, even slight environmental modifications in one's life can relieve stress and place a new perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Therapy in a hospital inpatient program will help reveal such issues so they can be handled.
