Frequently people with a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate instead of effectively responding to their problem. Professional rehab counselors within a hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn things around so they will no longer find the need to use alcohol and drugs in this way, and instead create methods to make their mental health issue more manageable.

Counselling in a hospital inpatient program can help expose such problems so they can be resolved.
