A hospital inpatient program may be a beneficial selection for someone who has a co-occurring mental health issue, or for someone with other medical needs which might need to be overseen by experts. People who partake in such a program may benefit from mental health services while also dealing with issues who have prompted their substance abuse. Frequently those that have a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate as opposed to effectively responding to their disorder. Professional rehab counselors in a hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn the tide so that they not find the need to use drugs and alcohol in this way, and instead create ways to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Medication is often used to accomplish this, but this isn't the answer needed in every case. By way of example, even subtle environmental adjustments to one's life can alleviate stress and place a new perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Counselling in a hospital inpatient program can help expose such issues so they can be resolved.
