Hospital inpatient programs are rehab centers for drug abuse, which provide an exclusive and medical setting for those in recovery. A hospital inpatient program is often a beneficial option for somebody that has a co-occurring mental health issue, or someone with other medical needs which should be overseen by medical experts. Those who partake in that program can be helped by mental health services as well as addressing issues who have prompted their drug abuse. Usually those that have a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate rather than efficiently addressing their disorder. Professional rehab counselors in a hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn things around so they will no longer find the need to use alcohol and drugs in this way, and instead create methods to make their mental health issue more manageable. Prescription medication is often used to accomplish this, but this isn't the solution needed in every case. For example, even slight environmental modifications in one's life can alleviate stress and place a new perspective on things so that the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Therapy within a hospital inpatient program will help expose such problems so they can be resolved.
