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

There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Thayer to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
