A hospital inpatient program might be a beneficial option for someone that has a co-occurring mental health issue, and someone with other medical needs which might need to be overseen by experts. Those who partake in that program may benefit from mental health services whilst dealing with issues which may have prompted their substance abuse. Frequently people with a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate as opposed to efficiently addressing their problem. Professional rehabilitation counselors within a hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn the tide so they not find the necessity to use alcohol and drugs this way, and instead create solutions to make their mental health issue more manageable.

Therapy within a hospital inpatient program will help expose such problems so they can be resolved.
