Hospital inpatient programs are rehabilitation facilities for substance abuse, which offer a private and clinical setting for people in recovery. A hospital inpatient program is often a beneficial option for someone who has a co-occurring mental health disorder, or someone with other medical requirements which should be overseen by medical professionals. Individuals who partake in such a program may benefit from mental health services while addressing issues who have prompted their abusing drugs. Often individuals with a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate as opposed to effectively responding to their problem. Professional treatment counselors in the hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn things around so they will no longer find the need to use drugs and alcohol like this, and instead create solutions to make their mental health issue more manageable. Medicine is often used to achieve this, however this isn't the solution needed in every case. For instance, even slight environmental modifications in one's life can decrease stress and put a fresh perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Therapy inside a hospital inpatient program can help expose such problems so they can be handled.
