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

There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Swaledale to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, where 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 complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
