Folks who partake in such a program can be helped by mental health services whilst dealing with issues which may have prompted their abusing drugs. Very often those that have a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate rather than effectively responding to their disorder. Professional rehab counselors within a hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn the tide so that they not find the necessity to use alcohol and drugs in this way, and instead create ways to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Prescription medication is often used to do this, however, this isn't the answer needed in every case.

Therapy inside a hospital inpatient program will help expose such problems so they can be resolved.
