People who partake in this particular program can usually benefit from mental health services while dealing with issues which may have prompted their abusing drugs. Frequently those that have a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate as an alternative to effectively responding to their disorder. Professional rehab counselors inside a hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn things around so that they will 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.
