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

There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in West St. Paul 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 physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough 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 in the first place. An effective recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
