Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Squirrel Island, ME.

There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Squirrel Island to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.

Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
