Hospital inpatient programs are rehab facilities for drug abuse, which offer an exclusive and clinical setting for people in recovery. A hospital inpatient program is often a beneficial choice for someone who has a co-occurring mental health disorder, or someone with other medical needs which may need to be overseen by medical professionals. Those who partake in such a program can be helped by mental health services whilst dealing with issues which may have prompted their drug abuse. Usually those that have a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate as opposed to efficiently addressing their disorder. Professional rehab counselors inside a hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn the tide so they not find the necessity to use drugs and alcohol in this manner, and instead develop ways to make their mental health issue more manageable. Medication is often used to do this, however, this isn't the solution needed in every case. For example, even slight environmental changes in one's life can alleviate stress and place a new perspective on things so that the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse drugs or alcohol. Therapy within a hospital inpatient program will help reveal such problems so they can be resolved.
