Hospital inpatient programs are rehabilitation programs for drug abuse, that provide an exclusive and medical setting for those in recovery. A hospital inpatient program may be a beneficial alternative for someone that has a co-occurring mental health disorder, or for someone with other medical needs which should be overseen by experts. People who partake in this particular program can benefit from mental health services while also dealing with issues who have prompted their drug use. Frequently those that have a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate as an alternative to effectively responding to their problem. Professional treatment counselors within a hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn the tide so that they will no longer find the need to use drugs and alcohol in this way, and instead develop solutions to make their mental health issue more manageable. Medicine is often used to accomplish this, however this isn't the solution needed in all cases. As an example, even subtle environmental modifications in one's life can relieve stress and place a whole new perspective on things so that the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse drugs or alcohol. Counselling within a hospital inpatient program will help expose such problems so they can be resolved.
