Hospital inpatient programs are treatment programs for drug abuse, that provide an exclusive and medical setting for people in recovery. A hospital inpatient program may be a beneficial option for someone who has a co-occurring mental health disorder, and for someone with other medical needs which might need to be overseen by experts. Individuals who partake in such a program may benefit from mental health services while dealing with issues which may have prompted their abusing drugs. Often those that have a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate rather than efficiently addressing their problem. Professional rehab counselors in the hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn things around so they will no longer find the necessity to use drugs and alcohol in this manner, and instead create solutions to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Prescription medication is often used to do this, however this isn't the solution needed in all cases. For instance, even subtle environmental modifications in one's life can decrease stress and place a fresh perspective on things so 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.
