Hospital inpatient programs are rehab centers for drug abuse, that provide a private and clinical setting for individuals in recovery. A hospital inpatient program can be a beneficial option for someone that has a co-occurring mental health disorder, and for someone with other medical needs which might need to be overseen by medical professionals. Those who partake in this particular program can benefit from mental health services while also dealing with issues which may have prompted their drug use. Often people with a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate as opposed to effectively responding to their problem. Professional treatment counselors in the hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn the tide so they no longer find the necessity to use drugs and alcohol in this manner, and instead create solutions to make their mental health issue more manageable. Prescription medication is often used to accomplish this, however this isn't the answer needed in every case. For example, even slight environmental adjustments to one's life can alleviate stress and put a fresh perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Counselling within a hospital inpatient program will help reveal such problems so they can be resolved.
