Hospital inpatient programs are rehab centers for substance abuse, which give an exclusive and medical setting for those in recovery. A hospital inpatient program might be a beneficial choice for someone that has a co-occurring mental health disorder, or for someone with other medical needs which should be overseen by doctors. Those who partake in this particular program may benefit from mental health services while also dealing with issues who have prompted their substance abuse. Often people with a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate rather than efficiently addressing their disorder. Professional treatment counselors in the hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn things around so that they not find the necessity to use alcohol and drugs like this, and instead create solutions to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Medication is often used to do this, however, this isn't the answer needed in all cases. For example, even slight environmental changes in one's life can alleviate 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.
