Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Hope, ME.

There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Hope 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 prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, where a medically safe detox 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 comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
