Hospital inpatient programs are rehab centers for drug abuse, which offer a private and clinical setting for people in recovery. A hospital inpatient program might be a beneficial selection for someone who has a co-occurring mental health disorder, or for someone with other medical needs which should be overseen by medical professionals. Those who partake in this particular program may benefit from mental health services as well as addressing issues which may have prompted their substance abuse. Often people who have a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate as an alternative to effectively responding to their problem. Professional rehab counselors within a hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn things around so that they will no longer find the need to use drugs and alcohol in this manner, and instead create solutions to make their mental health issue more manageable. Medication is often used to achieve this, however, this isn't the solution needed in all cases. As an example, even subtle environmental changes in one's life can decrease stress and place 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 reveal such problems so they can be resolved.
