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

There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in North Yarmouth to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
