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

There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Portland to receive professional help 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 substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
