Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Boston, MA.

There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Boston to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for help should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
