Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Elkton, KY.

There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Elkton to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
