Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Elk City, ID.

There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Elk City to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed 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 complete treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
