Hospital inpatient programs are rehab facilities for drug abuse, which provide an exclusive and clinical setting for individuals in recovery. A hospital inpatient program may be a beneficial alternative for somebody who has a co-occurring mental health disorder, and someone with other medical needs which may need to be overseen by medical professionals. Individuals who partake in that program may benefit from mental health services as well as dealing with issues which may have prompted their drug abuse. Usually those that have a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate as an alternative to efficiently responding to their disorder. Professional treatment counselors within a hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn things around so they not find the need to use drugs and alcohol in this manner, and instead develop methods to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Medicine is often used to achieve this, however this isn't the answer needed in every case. By way of example, even slight environmental modifications in one's life can relieve stress and put a new perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse drugs or alcohol. Therapy within a hospital inpatient program will help reveal such issues so they can be handled.
