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

There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Oakland to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
