Hospital inpatient programs are rehab facilities for substance abuse, that provide an exclusive and clinical setting for people in recovery. A hospital inpatient program is often a beneficial choice for somebody who has a co-occurring mental health issue, and for someone with other medical needs which might need to be overseen by experts. People who partake in that program may benefit from mental health services while dealing with issues which may have prompted their substance abuse. Frequently people who have a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate instead of efficiently addressing their problem. Professional rehabilitation counselors in a hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn the tide so that they no longer find the need to use drugs and alcohol this way, and instead create ways to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Medicine is often used to accomplish this, however, this isn't the answer needed in every case. As an example, even slight environmental changes in one's life can relieve stress and put a new perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Therapy within a hospital inpatient program will help reveal such issues so they can be resolved.
