Hospital inpatient programs are rehab facilities for substance abuse, that provide an exclusive and clinical setting for those in recovery. A hospital inpatient program can be a beneficial choice for someone who has a co-occurring mental health disorder, or someone with other medical needs which should be overseen by experts. Folks who partake in that program can be helped by mental health services whilst dealing with issues which may have prompted their drug abuse. Very often those that have a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate rather than effectively responding to their disorder. Professional treatment counselors in a hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn things around so that they 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 achieve this, however, this isn't the answer needed in all cases. For example, even slight environmental changes in one's life can alleviate stress and place a whole new perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Counselling in a hospital inpatient program will help reveal such problems so they can be resolved.
