Hospital inpatient programs are rehab programs for drug abuse, which offer a private and medical setting for those in recovery. A hospital inpatient program might be a beneficial option for someone who has a co-occurring mental health issue, and someone with other medical requirements which should be overseen by doctors. Individuals who partake in such a program can benefit from mental health services as well as addressing issues which may have prompted their substance abuse. Often people with a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate as opposed to efficiently addressing their problem. Professional rehab counselors inside a hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn things around so they no longer find the necessity to use alcohol and drugs like this, and instead develop methods to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Medicine is often used to achieve this, but this isn't the answer needed in every case. By way of example, even subtle environmental changes in one's life can relieve stress and place a new perspective on things so that the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Therapy inside a hospital inpatient program can help expose such issues so they can be handled.
