Hospital inpatient programs are treatment programs for drug abuse, which give an exclusive and clinical setting for people in recovery. A hospital inpatient program might be a beneficial choice for someone who has a co-occurring mental health issue, or for someone with other medical needs which may need to be overseen by medical professionals. Those who partake in that program may benefit from mental health services as well as dealing with issues which may have prompted their drug abuse. Very often individuals with a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate instead of efficiently addressing their disorder. Professional rehab 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 like this, and instead create solutions to make their mental health issue more manageable. Medication is often used to do 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 put a new perspective on things so that the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse drugs or alcohol. Therapy within a hospital inpatient program can help expose such issues so they can be resolved.
