A hospital inpatient program is often a beneficial option for somebody who has a co-occurring mental health issue, and for someone with other medical needs which should be overseen by medical experts. Individuals who partake in such a program can benefit from mental health services while dealing with issues which may have prompted their drug abuse. Very often individuals with a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate as an alternative to efficiently addressing their disorder. Professional rehab counselors in the hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn things around so they will no longer find the necessity to use alcohol and drugs in this way, and instead create ways to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Medication is often used to do this, however, this isn't the answer needed in all cases. By way of example, 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 within a hospital inpatient program will help expose such issues so they can be handled.
