A hospital inpatient program can be a beneficial alternative for someone that has a co-occurring mental health issue, or for someone with other medical requirements which should be overseen by medical experts. Those who partake in that program may benefit from mental health services whilst dealing with issues which may have prompted their drug use. Often people with a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate as an alternative to efficiently addressing their disorder. Professional rehabilitation counselors in the hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn things around so that they no longer find the necessity to use alcohol and drugs like this, and instead develop ways to make their mental health issue more manageable. Prescription medication is often used to accomplish this, however this isn't the solution needed in every case. For example, even subtle environmental adjustments to one's life can relieve stress and put a whole new perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse drugs or alcohol. Therapy within a hospital inpatient program can help reveal such issues so they can be resolved.
