Hospital inpatient programs are rehabilitation facilities for drug abuse, which provide an exclusive and medical setting for people in recovery. A hospital inpatient program may be a beneficial option for someone who has a co-occurring mental health disorder, and someone with other medical needs which might need to be overseen by experts. Those who partake in this particular program can benefit from mental health services while dealing with issues who have prompted their drug use. Frequently people with a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate rather than effectively addressing their disorder. Professional rehabilitation counselors in the hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn the tide so they no longer find the need to use drugs and alcohol like this, and instead develop solutions to make their mental health issue more manageable. Medication is often used to do this, however, this isn't the solution needed in every case. By way of example, even slight environmental modifications in one's life can decrease stress and put a fresh perspective on things so that the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse drugs or alcohol. Therapy in the hospital inpatient program can help expose such issues so they can be resolved.
