Hospital inpatient programs are treatment facilities for substance abuse, which give a private and clinical setting for those in recovery. A hospital inpatient program may be a beneficial alternative for somebody who has a co-occurring mental health issue, and someone with other medical requirements which should be overseen by experts. Individuals who partake in such a program can benefit from mental health services while addressing issues which may have prompted their drug abuse. Very often those that have a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate rather than effectively responding to their problem. Professional rehab counselors in the hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn things around so that they not find the need to use alcohol and drugs in this way, and instead develop methods to make their mental health issue more manageable. Medicine is often used to accomplish this, but this isn't the answer needed in every case. For example, even slight environmental adjustments to one's life can alleviate stress and put a new perspective on things so that the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse drugs or alcohol. Therapy within a hospital inpatient program can help expose such problems so they can be resolved.
