Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Science Hill, KY.

There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Science Hill to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
