A hospital inpatient program might be a beneficial alternative for someone who has a co-occurring mental health disorder, and someone with other medical requirements which ought to be overseen by doctors. Individuals who partake in this particular program may benefit from mental health services as well as dealing with issues which may have prompted their drug abuse. Frequently people who 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 will help individuals turn things around so they will 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 accomplish this, but this isn't the solution needed in every case.

Therapy in a hospital inpatient program can help reveal such issues so they can be resolved.
