Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - South Tucson, AZ.

There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in South Tucson to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
