Hospital inpatient programs are rehabilitation facilities for substance abuse, which give a private and clinical setting for people in recovery. A hospital inpatient program can be a beneficial option for someone who has a co-occurring mental health issue, and someone with other medical needs which may need to be overseen by medical experts. Individuals who partake in this program can usually benefit from mental health services whilst dealing with issues which may have prompted their drug abuse. Frequently individuals with a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate instead of efficiently responding to their problem. Professional rehabilitation counselors in a hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn things around so that they no longer find the need to use alcohol and drugs in this way, and instead create methods to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Medicine is often used to accomplish this, however, this isn't the answer needed in all cases. As an example, even subtle environmental adjustments to one's life can alleviate stress and put a new perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse drugs or alcohol. Therapy in the hospital inpatient program will help expose such issues so they can be resolved.
