Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Durham, ME.

There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Durham to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often have other physical and mental health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a medically safe detox 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 assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
