Hospital inpatient programs are treatment facilities for drug abuse, which give an exclusive and medical setting for those in recovery. A hospital inpatient program is often a beneficial alternative for someone who has a co-occurring mental health disorder, and someone with other medical requirements which might need to be overseen by doctors. People who partake in this program can usually benefit from mental health services while also dealing with issues who have prompted their drug use. Very often people with a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate instead of effectively addressing their disorder. Professional rehab counselors in a hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn things around so they no longer find the necessity to use alcohol and drugs like this, and instead develop ways to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Prescription medication is often used to accomplish this, but this isn't the solution needed in every case. For example, even slight environmental modifications in one's life can alleviate stress and put a fresh perspective on things so that the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse drugs or alcohol. Therapy in a hospital inpatient program will help expose such problems so they can be resolved.
