Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Agency, IA.

There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Agency to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
