Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Agency, MO.

There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Agency to get professional 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 healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often have other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
