Hospital inpatient programs are rehab facilities for drug abuse, which provide an exclusive and clinical setting for those in recovery. A hospital inpatient program may be a beneficial selection for someone that has a co-occurring mental health disorder, and for someone with other medical requirements which should be overseen by experts. Individuals who partake in that program can be helped by mental health services whilst addressing issues which may have prompted their drug abuse. Usually individuals with a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate instead of efficiently addressing their problem. Professional treatment counselors in a hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn things around so they not find the need to use drugs and alcohol this way, and instead develop methods to make their mental health issue more manageable. Medication is often used to do this, but this isn't the solution needed in all cases. For example, even slight environmental changes in one's life can relieve 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 reveal such issues so they can be handled.
