Hospital inpatient programs are rehab centers for drug abuse, that provide an exclusive and medical setting for those in recovery. A hospital inpatient program may be a beneficial choice for someone that has a co-occurring mental health issue, or for someone with other medical needs which should be overseen by medical experts. Individuals who partake in such a program can be helped by mental health services while also addressing issues which may have prompted their drug abuse. Very often people who have a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate rather than effectively responding to their problem. Professional rehabilitation counselors in the hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn the tide so that they not find the necessity to use drugs and alcohol in this manner, and instead develop ways to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Prescription medication is often used to achieve this, however this isn't the answer needed in all cases. By way of example, even slight environmental modifications in one's life can decrease stress and put a fresh perspective on things so that the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Therapy in a hospital inpatient program will help expose such problems so they can be resolved.
