Hospital inpatient programs are treatment facilities for drug abuse, which provide an exclusive and clinical setting for individuals in recovery. A hospital inpatient program is often a beneficial option for someone who has a co-occurring mental health issue, and for someone with other medical needs which may need to be overseen by doctors. Individuals who partake in this program can benefit from mental health services whilst addressing issues who have prompted their drug abuse. Often those that have a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate instead of efficiently responding to their problem. Professional treatment counselors in a hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn things around so that they no longer find the necessity to use drugs and alcohol this way, and instead develop ways to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Medicine is often used to achieve this, however, this isn't the solution needed in all cases. As an example, even subtle environmental modifications in one's life can decrease stress and place a new perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Counselling within a hospital inpatient program will help reveal such issues so they can be resolved.
