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

There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Sutherland to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally 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 reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.

Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health 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 to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
