Hospital inpatient programs are treatment facilities for substance abuse, that provide an exclusive and clinical setting for individuals in recovery. A hospital inpatient program may be a beneficial alternative for someone who has a co-occurring mental health disorder, and someone with other medical needs which may need to be overseen by medical experts. Those who partake in this program can usually benefit from mental health services whilst dealing with issues who have prompted their drug abuse. Usually people with a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate as an alternative to efficiently responding to their disorder. Professional rehabilitation counselors in the hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn the tide so that they will no longer find the need to use alcohol and drugs in this way, 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. As an example, even subtle environmental adjustments to one's life can decrease stress and put a fresh perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse drugs or alcohol. Therapy inside a hospital inpatient program will help expose such problems so they can be resolved.
