Hospital inpatient programs are rehab centers for drug abuse, which give a private and clinical setting for those in recovery. A hospital inpatient program might be a beneficial option for someone who has a co-occurring mental health issue, or someone with other medical needs which may need to be overseen by medical experts. People who partake in this program can usually benefit from mental health services as well as dealing with issues which may have prompted their abusing drugs. Usually those that have a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate rather than effectively addressing their problem. Professional rehabilitation counselors within a hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn things around so that they no longer find the necessity to use alcohol and drugs in this way, and instead create ways to make their mental health issue more manageable. Prescription medication is often used to achieve this, however, this isn't the solution needed in every case. By way of example, even subtle environmental modifications in one's life can relieve stress and place a whole new perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Therapy within a hospital inpatient program will help expose such issues so they can be resolved.
