Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - St. Joseph, MN.

There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in St. Joseph to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live 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 addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that must be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
