Hospital inpatient programs are rehab centers for substance abuse, which provide a private and clinical setting for people in recovery. A hospital inpatient program can be a beneficial option for somebody who has a co-occurring mental health issue, or someone with other medical needs which may need to be overseen by doctors. Individuals who partake in this program can be helped by mental health services while also addressing issues which may have prompted their drug abuse. Often those that have a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate rather than effectively addressing their problem. Professional rehab counselors within a hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn the tide so they no longer find the necessity to use drugs and alcohol like this, and instead develop methods to make their mental health issue more manageable. Medicine is often used to achieve this, but this isn't the solution needed in all cases. By way of example, even subtle environmental modifications in one's life can decrease stress and place a fresh perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse drugs or alcohol. Counselling in the hospital inpatient program can help reveal such problems so they can be resolved.
