Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Thorndike, ME.

There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Thorndike 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 addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
