Hospital inpatient programs are rehab programs for drug abuse, which offer a private and clinical setting for people in recovery. A hospital inpatient program might be a beneficial choice for someone who has a co-occurring mental health issue, and someone with other medical needs which may need to be overseen by doctors. Those who partake in such a program can usually benefit from mental health services as well as addressing issues who have prompted their substance abuse. Very often those that have a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate instead of effectively addressing their disorder. Professional rehab counselors in a hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn things around so that they no longer find the necessity to use alcohol and drugs in this way, and instead develop methods to make their mental health issue more manageable. Medication is often used to accomplish this, but this isn't the solution needed in all cases. As an example, even slight environmental adjustments to 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 within a hospital inpatient program will help reveal such issues so they can be handled.
