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

There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Emerson to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help should find a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.

Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
