Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Pearce, AZ.

There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Pearce to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
