Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Dunkerton, IA.

There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Dunkerton to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.

Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment center, 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 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. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
