Hospital inpatient programs are rehab centers for substance abuse, that provide a private and clinical setting for individuals in recovery. A hospital inpatient program may be a beneficial selection for someone who has a co-occurring mental health disorder, or someone with other medical needs which may need to be overseen by medical professionals. Those who partake in this particular program can be helped by mental health services while addressing issues which may have prompted their substance abuse. Usually individuals with a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate rather than effectively addressing their disorder. Professional rehab counselors within a hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn the tide so that they not find the need to use alcohol and drugs in this manner, and instead create solutions to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Medicine is often used to achieve this, but this isn't the solution needed in every case. As an example, even slight environmental modifications in one's life can decrease stress and put a whole new perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Therapy inside a hospital inpatient program will help reveal such problems so they can be resolved.
