Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Bakersfield, MO.

There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Bakersfield to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription 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 psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
