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

There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Elmer to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often have other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
