Those who partake in such a program may benefit from mental health services while also addressing issues which may have prompted their abusing drugs. Very often those that have a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate as opposed to effectively addressing their problem. Professional rehabilitation counselors inside a hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn things around so that they no longer find the necessity to use alcohol and drugs like this, and instead create methods to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Prescription medication is often used to achieve this, however, this isn't the solution needed in every case.

Therapy in the hospital inpatient program can help reveal such problems so they can be resolved.
