Hospital inpatient programs are rehabilitation centers for substance abuse, which give a private and medical setting for folks in recovery. A hospital inpatient program can be a beneficial option for someone who has a co-occurring mental health disorder, or someone with other medical needs which should be overseen by doctors. People who partake in such a program may benefit from mental health services while also dealing with issues who have prompted their drug use. Very often those that have a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate instead of efficiently responding to their problem. Professional rehabilitation counselors in the hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn the tide so they will no longer find the need to use alcohol and drugs this way, and instead create methods to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Medicine is often used to do this, but this isn't the solution needed in all cases. For example, even subtle environmental modifications in one's life can alleviate stress and put a fresh perspective on things so that the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse drugs or alcohol. Therapy in the hospital inpatient program can help reveal such issues so they can be resolved.
