Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Alexandria, IN.

There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Alexandria to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled 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.
