Hospital inpatient programs are rehabilitation centers for drug abuse, which offer an exclusive and clinical setting for people in recovery. A hospital inpatient program may be a beneficial alternative for someone who has a co-occurring mental health issue, and for someone with other medical needs which may need to be overseen by medical experts. Those who partake in that program can be helped by mental health services while 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 rather than effectively responding to their problem. Professional treatment counselors in the hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn the tide so they will no longer find the necessity to use alcohol and drugs in this way, and instead create methods to make their mental health issue more manageable. Medicine is often used to achieve this, however, this isn't the solution needed in all cases. For example, even slight environmental modifications in one's life can alleviate stress and place a fresh perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Therapy in a hospital inpatient program will help reveal such problems so they can be handled.
