Hospital inpatient programs are rehab centers for drug abuse, which give an exclusive and clinical setting for individuals in recovery. A hospital inpatient program is often a beneficial choice for someone that has a co-occurring mental health disorder, and for someone with other medical needs which should be overseen by medical professionals. Individuals who partake in such a program may benefit from mental health services whilst dealing with issues who have prompted their drug use. Very often those that have a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate instead of efficiently addressing their problem. Professional rehab counselors in the hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn the tide so they will no longer find the need to use drugs and alcohol this way, and instead create ways to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Medication is often used to do this, but this isn't the solution needed in all cases. As an example, even slight environmental changes in one's life can decrease stress and put a whole new perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse drugs or alcohol. Therapy inside a hospital inpatient program will help expose such problems so they can be handled.
