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

There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Elgin to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse 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 added to the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help look for a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be 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 in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
