Hospital inpatient programs are rehabilitation programs for substance abuse, that provide a private and medical setting for people in recovery. A hospital inpatient program can be a beneficial option for someone who has a co-occurring mental health disorder, or for someone with other medical needs which might need to be overseen by medical experts. People who partake in this particular program may benefit from mental health services while also addressing issues who have prompted their drug abuse. Frequently those that have a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate rather than effectively responding to their problem. Professional treatment counselors in a hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn the tide so that they will no longer find the necessity to use alcohol and drugs this way, and instead create solutions to make their mental health issue more manageable. Prescription medication is often used to achieve this, however, this isn't the solution needed in all cases. As an example, even slight environmental modifications in one's life can relieve stress and put a fresh perspective on things so that the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse drugs or alcohol. Therapy in the hospital inpatient program can help expose such issues so they can be handled.
