A hospital inpatient program might be a beneficial alternative for someone who has a co-occurring mental health issue, and for someone with other medical requirements which may need to be overseen by medical experts. Individuals who partake in such a program can usually benefit from mental health services while also dealing with issues which may have prompted their drug use. Often people who have a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate instead of effectively addressing their disorder. Professional rehabilitation counselors inside a hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn things around so that they will no longer find the need to use alcohol and drugs in this way, and instead create 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 instance, 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. Counselling in a hospital inpatient program can help expose such problems so they can be handled.
