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

There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Derby to receive 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 healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often have other physical and mental health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
