Hospital inpatient programs are rehabilitation facilities for substance abuse, which give an exclusive and medical setting for those in recovery. A hospital inpatient program may be a beneficial option for someone that has a co-occurring mental health issue, or for someone with other medical needs which should be overseen by medical professionals. Those who partake in this particular program can be helped by mental health services as well as dealing with issues who have prompted their drug abuse. Often those that have a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate instead of efficiently responding to their problem. Professional rehab counselors inside a hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn the tide so they no longer find the need to use alcohol and drugs in this way, and instead create ways to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Medicine is often used to achieve this, but this isn't the solution needed in every case. For instance, even slight environmental modifications in one's life can relieve stress and put a whole new perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Therapy in a hospital inpatient program can help reveal such problems so they can be resolved.
