Hospital inpatient programs are rehabilitation programs for substance abuse, which give a private and clinical setting for people in recovery. A hospital inpatient program may be a beneficial choice for someone who has a co-occurring mental health issue, and for someone with other medical needs which may need to be overseen by medical experts. Folks who partake in this program may benefit from mental health services as well as dealing with issues which may have prompted their substance abuse. Very often people who 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 will help individuals turn things around so they no longer find the need 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 answer needed in all cases. For example, even slight environmental changes in one's life can relieve stress and put a whole new perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse drugs or alcohol. Therapy in a hospital inpatient program will help reveal such problems so they can be resolved.
