Hospital inpatient programs are rehab centers for drug abuse, that provide an exclusive and clinical setting for individuals in recovery. A hospital inpatient program is often a beneficial alternative for someone who has a co-occurring mental health disorder, and someone with other medical needs which might need to be overseen by medical professionals. Folks who partake in such a program can be helped by mental health services while dealing with issues who have prompted their abusing drugs. Often people with a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate rather than effectively responding to their problem. Professional rehabilitation counselors inside a hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn things around so they no longer find the need to use alcohol and drugs this way, and instead develop ways to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Prescription medication 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 that 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 handled.
