Hospital inpatient programs are rehab centers for drug abuse, which provide an exclusive and clinical setting for those in recovery. A hospital inpatient program can be a beneficial alternative for someone that has a co-occurring mental health issue, and for someone with other medical requirements which may need to be overseen by experts. People who partake in this program may benefit from mental health services while also addressing issues which may have prompted their abusing drugs. Often people with a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate as opposed to effectively addressing their disorder. Professional rehab counselors within a hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn things around so they will no longer find the need to use drugs and alcohol like this, and instead develop solutions to make their mental health issue more manageable. Medication is often used to accomplish this, but this isn't the solution needed in every case. For example, even subtle 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 will help expose such problems so they can be handled.
