Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Northome, MN.

There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Northome to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
