A hospital inpatient program is often a beneficial selection for someone that has a co-occurring mental health issue, and for someone with other medical needs which may need to be overseen by medical professionals. Individuals who partake in such a program can be helped by mental health services as well as addressing issues who have prompted their substance abuse. Very often people who have a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate as an alternative to efficiently responding to their disorder. Professional rehabilitation counselors inside a hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn things around so that they will no longer find the necessity to use drugs and alcohol in this manner, and instead develop ways to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Medication is often used to accomplish this, but this isn't the solution needed in every case. As an example, even subtle environmental adjustments to one's life can relieve stress and put a new perspective on things so that the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Therapy within a hospital inpatient program will help expose such problems so they can be resolved.
