Hospital inpatient programs are rehab centers for drug abuse, which give an exclusive and medical setting for those in recovery. A hospital inpatient program may be a beneficial option for somebody who has a co-occurring mental health issue, and someone with other medical requirements which should be overseen by medical experts. Those who partake in this program can benefit from mental health services while addressing issues who have prompted their drug use. Usually people with a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate as opposed to effectively responding to their disorder. Professional treatment counselors in the hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn things around so they will no longer find the need to use drugs and alcohol in this manner, and instead develop solutions to make their mental health issue more manageable. Medicine is often used to accomplish this, however this isn't the answer needed in all cases. As an example, even slight environmental adjustments to one's life can alleviate stress and place a new perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Therapy in the hospital inpatient program can help expose such issues so they can be handled.
