Hospital inpatient programs are treatment centers for drug abuse, that provide an exclusive and medical setting for those in recovery. A hospital inpatient program might 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. Those who partake in that program can usually benefit from mental health services whilst addressing issues which may have prompted their abusing drugs. Often those that have a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate as opposed to efficiently addressing their disorder. Professional rehabilitation counselors in the hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn the tide so that they no longer find the need to use drugs and alcohol this way, 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. For example, even subtle environmental adjustments to one's life can decrease stress and place a fresh perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse drugs or alcohol. Therapy in a hospital inpatient program can help reveal such problems so they can be handled.
