Hospital inpatient programs are rehabilitation facilities for drug abuse, which offer a private and clinical setting for individuals in recovery. A hospital inpatient program may be a beneficial option for someone that has a co-occurring mental health disorder, or someone with other medical needs which might need to be overseen by experts. People who partake in such a program may benefit from mental health services while also addressing issues which may have prompted their abusing drugs. Very often people with a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate rather than efficiently responding to their disorder. Professional rehabilitation counselors within a hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn the tide so that they no longer find the need to use alcohol and drugs in this manner, and instead develop methods to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Medication is often used to accomplish this, however this isn't the solution needed in all cases. For example, even slight environmental modifications in one's life can relieve stress and place a new perspective on things so that the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Therapy in a hospital inpatient program can help expose such problems so they can be resolved.
