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

There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in West Point to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
