A hospital inpatient program can be a beneficial alternative for someone that has a co-occurring mental health issue, and someone with other medical needs which might need to be overseen by experts. People who partake in this program can be helped by mental health services while dealing with issues who have prompted their drug use. Very often people who have a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate rather than effectively addressing their disorder. Professional rehab counselors in the 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 methods to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Medication is often used to accomplish this, but this isn't the answer needed in all cases. As an example, even slight environmental adjustments to one's life can relieve stress and place a fresh perspective on things so that the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse drugs or alcohol. Counselling in the hospital inpatient program will help reveal such issues so they can be resolved.
