Hospital inpatient programs are treatment programs for drug abuse, which offer a private and medical setting for people in recovery. A hospital inpatient program is often a beneficial option for someone that has a co-occurring mental health disorder, or someone with other medical needs which should be overseen by doctors. Those who partake in this program may benefit from mental health services as well as dealing with issues which may have prompted their drug abuse. Often those that have a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate as opposed to efficiently responding to their disorder. Professional rehab counselors inside a hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn things around so they not find the need to use alcohol and drugs this way, and instead create solutions to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Prescription medication is often used to accomplish this, however, this isn't the solution needed in all cases. For example, even subtle environmental modifications in one's life can decrease stress and place a new perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse drugs or alcohol. Therapy within a hospital inpatient program can help expose such problems so they can be resolved.
