Hospital inpatient programs are rehab programs for drug abuse, which give an exclusive and clinical setting for individuals in recovery. A hospital inpatient program may be a beneficial selection for someone who has a co-occurring mental health disorder, or someone with other medical needs which may need to be overseen by medical experts. Those who partake in such a program may benefit from mental health services as well as addressing issues which may have prompted their drug use. Frequently people who have a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate rather than efficiently responding to their disorder. Professional rehab counselors within a hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn things around so that they will no longer find the need to use drugs and alcohol this way, and instead create ways to make their mental health issue more manageable. Prescription medication is often used to achieve this, but this isn't the solution needed in every case. As an example, even slight environmental modifications in one's life can relieve stress and place a whole new perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Counselling in the hospital inpatient program will help expose such problems so they can be resolved.
