Hospital inpatient programs are rehab programs for drug abuse, which offer a private and clinical setting for individuals in recovery. A hospital inpatient program might be a beneficial alternative for somebody who has a co-occurring mental health disorder, and someone with other medical needs which ought to be overseen by doctors. People who partake in such a program can benefit from mental health services as well as dealing with issues who have prompted their drug use. Frequently individuals with a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate rather than effectively responding to their disorder. Professional rehabilitation counselors in a hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn the tide so that they no longer find the need to use drugs and alcohol like this, and instead develop ways to make their mental health issue more manageable. Prescription medication is often used to do this, however this isn't the answer needed in all cases.

Counselling in the hospital inpatient program can help reveal such problems so they can be handled.
