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

There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Gipsy to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
