Hospital inpatient programs are treatment programs for substance abuse, which offer an exclusive and medical setting for those in recovery. A hospital inpatient program can be a beneficial choice for someone who has a co-occurring mental health disorder, and for someone with other medical needs which may need to be overseen by doctors. Individuals who partake in this program can be helped by mental health services while also addressing issues which may have prompted their abusing drugs. Usually those that have a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate as an alternative to efficiently addressing their disorder. Professional rehabilitation counselors in the hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn the tide so that they no longer find the necessity to use drugs and alcohol this way, and instead create solutions to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Medicine is often used to achieve this, but this isn't the solution needed in all cases. By way of example, even subtle environmental modifications in one's life can relieve 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 will help expose such problems so they can be resolved.
