Hospital inpatient programs are rehab programs for substance abuse, that provide an exclusive and clinical setting for individuals in recovery. A hospital inpatient program may be a beneficial choice for someone who has a co-occurring mental health disorder, or someone with other medical needs which may need to be overseen by doctors. Individuals who partake in this program may benefit from mental health services whilst dealing with issues who have prompted their drug use. Often individuals with a co-occurring mental health disorders use drugs or alcohol to self medicate instead of effectively addressing their problem. Professional rehab counselors inside a hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn the tide so they will no longer find the necessity to use alcohol and drugs this way, and instead create methods to make their mental health issue more manageable. Medicine is often used to achieve this, but 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 alcohol or drugs. Counselling in the hospital inpatient program can help expose such issues so they can be resolved.
