Hospital inpatient programs are rehab facilities for drug abuse, which offer an exclusive and clinical setting for people in recovery. A hospital inpatient program may be a beneficial choice for someone that has a co-occurring mental health disorder, or someone with other medical needs which might need to be overseen by medical professionals. Those who partake in this program can benefit from mental health services while also addressing issues which may have prompted their drug abuse. Often people with a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate as opposed to effectively addressing their problem. Professional rehabilitation counselors in the hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn things around so that they not find the need to use alcohol and drugs in this way, 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 instance, 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 drugs or alcohol. Therapy in a hospital inpatient program will help reveal such issues so they can be handled.
