Hospital inpatient programs are rehabilitation facilities for substance abuse, which provide an exclusive and clinical setting for those in recovery. A hospital inpatient program can be a beneficial choice for someone who has a co-occurring mental health issue, and for someone with other medical requirements which should be overseen by doctors. Individuals who partake in this program may benefit from mental health services while addressing issues which may have prompted their drug use. Frequently people with a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate rather than effectively addressing their disorder. Professional treatment counselors inside a hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn the tide so they not find the need to use alcohol and drugs in this way, and instead develop solutions to make their mental health issue more manageable. Medication is often used to accomplish this, however, this isn't the answer needed in all cases. For example, even slight environmental adjustments to one's life can relieve stress and put a new perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Therapy in the hospital inpatient program can help reveal such issues so they can be handled.
