Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - West Paris, ME.

There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in West Paris to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.

Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and 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 very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
