People who partake in such a program can be helped by mental health services while dealing with issues which may have prompted their substance abuse. Usually people who have a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate instead of efficiently addressing their problem. Professional rehab counselors within a hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn the tide so that they no longer find the need to use alcohol and drugs in this manner, and instead develop ways to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Medicine is often used to accomplish this, however, this isn't the answer needed in every case. For instance, even subtle environmental changes in one's life can alleviate stress and place a fresh perspective on things so that the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse drugs or alcohol. Therapy in the hospital inpatient program can help expose such problems so they can be resolved.
